Nikolai Kapustin - Piano Concerto No. 3, Op. 48 [with full score]

[@lw3921]

4:33 この曲が世界でたった一度しか演奏されたことがなくて、しかも楽譜も手に入らないなんて信じたくない

[@Nooticus]

Its so crazy that this wasn't premiered until 6 years ago... mind-boggling!

[@evplayspiano]

hi nooti :)

[@Nooticus]

@@evplayspiano hiii ev! hehe

[@Pianodud]

actually it was. But was also suddenly deleted by google.

[@Nooticus]

@@Pianodud ? what do you mean?

[@darwin94]

yes after 30 years of composition, damn.

[@benjaminfriesinger219]

Might be my new favourite Kapustin piano concerto alongside No. 4

[@musicboiscores]

Not recorded very well, but this is the only recording of the piece I managed to find..

[@timothygremlin9737]

You still might be the first one to make a score video of this on youtube. And Kawakami always does a great job on Kapustin.

[@Ale-qf1pm]

could you kindly share a link to where you found this recording?

[@musicboiscores]

@@Ale-qf1pm I downloaded this from an older video that was uploaded in KZbin, which was up for quite a bit of time. The video was taken down a couple months ago, but I still had the recording saved on my device and I was already making the score video then. I don't know if there's any more places where you can find this recording. Edit: The original video (archived in Wayback Machine) was this web.archive.org/web/20201112003133/kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYbRc3ptZ9SXmq8

[@Classicalmusicscores1984]

Hopefully Frank Dupree records this one sometime.

[@alixvox]

@@Classicalmusicscores1984I was hoping this’d be his next recording, but Dupree mentioned in a comment a few days ago that Kapustin’s 2nd Concerto was just recorded and will be the next release.

[@unnamed_boi]

2:37 (and it's return at 9:34) is very yes and the melody that comes after it in the strings AAHHHHH also 8:40 is epic moment as well 29:02 mario underground theme but more epic xd

[@samaritan29]

the first melody mentioned also comes back at 12:24 on the oboe/flutes

[@unnamed_boi]

​​@@samaritan29that's true that's a beautiful moment as well the two renditions i mentioned though in the exposition and recapitulation get me like 📈📉📈📈📈📉📉 and it's not the theme alone but also the strings melody that comes right after it that's just so gorgeous

[@samaritan29]

@@unnamed_boi Yes! - and that string melody does come back in the piano cadenza (14:06) though in a harmonically altered / kapustiny form

[@unnamed_boi]

​@@samaritan29 that melody actually comes just after the part you mentioned as well but much altered, listen carefully to the brass in 12:43 onwards and compare it to the original melody. though just... that original iteration of the melody with the sweeping strings... man that's just so good

[@samaritan29]

@@unnamed_boi interesting --- i didn't realize that (2:58, 12:43) was just a truncated version of that turn-like gesture (2:48) -- but you're right - the original iteration is still the best!

[@spactick]

where in the world has this guy been hiding? how could he have not been out there in the concert circuit with this quality of work?

[@borbalbuddy]

Are you talking about Masahiro Kawakimi (pianist) or Kapustin?

[@spactick]

@@borbalbuddy Kapustin

[@Nooticus]

a pretty shy man composing jazz-inspired classical music who lived in the soviet union/former soviet union for his whole life and also had a fear of flying. it kinda makes sense why he was so unknown for so long.

[@brithgob1620]

First time I've listened to the music of Nikolai Kapustin. Reminds me a lot of Lalo Schifrin. I played some of if for my wife and she said it reminds her of the music in the James Bond movies. As a classical music enthusiast for almost 50 years, this is not something I usually look for, but I like Lalo Schifrin so I will definitely seek out more of Kapustin's music.

[@tarikeld11]

23:33 is quoting his Concert Etude No. 7

[@vivvpprof]

wooooooooooowwwwwwwww Well spotted! 👍😊

[@BryanSaylor1]

Thanks for this. I had an audio rip of the youtube video but I saw it was taken down recently. Really looking forward to an official recording of this concerto at some point.

[@Nooticus]

yes! I knew someone else (you) had a video of this up at some point!

[@antonmikhailov.p]

If you went into the commentary to understand what is happening with the rhythm in the performance of this wonderful work, then they write that this is a training orchestra. So don’t worry, we just wait for a full-fledged premiere performed by masters, whom there are many who respect Kapustin.

[@HodGabriel]

Kapustin should be well known at least as Prokofiev. What a musical genius, beautiful melodies and harmonies just flew of him endlessly!

[@Shark-Rex]

Hmm... From a classical music perspective, Kapustin's music is a bit too noisy, musically lacking in structure, and emotionally lacking in contemplation.

[@Nooticus]

@@Shark-Rex yeah, no.

[@Nooticus]

That third movement is just........wow!! kinda like a rhapsody of sorts! many different sections with different melodies coming in and phasing out again!

[@cnfortitude]

Absolutely massive vibe played by an immensely talented performer

[@jibizhemilo7136]

Omg I've been waiting for this! Thank you

[@Li-pw2fg]

bro it's so scrumptious

[@Ale-qf1pm]

nothing beats an epic guitar solo in Kapustin works, like at 4:32 and the one in his saxophone concerto

[@gigogrom216]

SLAPP TIME

[@imauz1127]

that is so epic wth

[@mcbill7352]

That is not a guitar solo

Here before the Dupree cover 😜

[@avvocatostyle]

Praying to God that Dupree actually does make a cover of the work🙏

[@vivvpprof]

Yeah "cover" is the right word here. Dupree's fantasy on the theme of Kapustin's 3rd :D

[@alixvox]

@@vivvpprof lol. As far as I’ve seen of the sheet music he just overplays dynamics and tempo changes, but the notes being accurate make it still fun to listen to for me.

[@FrankDuepree]

@@vivvpprof Read the music and check the metronome numbers which Kapustin asks for ;) The next album is in preparation, friends.

[@adlfm]

Unfathomably based, thanks for sharing!

[@flamingspinach]

What happened at rehearsal numbers 26 and 27... the pianist is a full eighth note behind the orchestra for much of this segment!

[@musicboiscores]

Yeah it's very unfortunate... I hope this gets another recording xD. As I'm aware of, this is taken from the world premiere of the piece, and I guess since they still don't quite know the piece well enough...

[@Nooticus]

@@musicboiscores well i wouldnt be so harsh. this is an incredibly difficult work and the orchestra is the orchestra of a college/university, so they are not professionals.

[@musicboiscores]

@@Nooticus That is true, though I do still hope this gets another recording. Incidentally, Dupree is releasing another Kapustin album with the 2nd and 6th concertos in November, so maybe he's saving the 3rd for last (and maybe the first too? Since there's a recent recording of it), so I'm excited for those xd

[@Nooticus]
