More Details on Kapustin - Piano Works
Kapustin's pianistic textures are rich, spanning the entire keyboard,
with melodies in every register, sweeping arpeggios, tons of chords,
and a fantastic array of runs. Such music is Kapustin's
birthright: Ukranian born and Moscow trained, he has Medtner,
Rachmaninov and Scriabin in his veins. But the jazz side is equally
authentic, incorporating the fleet pianism of Oscar Peterson and the
harmonic volatility and technical exuberance of Art Tatum. Kapustin's
music also encompasses more modern sounds, such as McCoy Tyner's
quartal voicings and the pop-tinged stylings of Keith Jarrett.
