My lord this is so great. Can't ever imagine being able to play this.

[@vivvpprof]

Listen to other performances. Then you'll see just how good this one is.

Nikolai Kapustin, geboren in der Ukraine, ist ein genialer Komponist und Pianist des 20"sten Jahrhundert, der wie kein anderer "E-Musiker" Jazzelemente in seine Kompositionen hat einfließen lassen. Er hat sich die 3 wichtigsten Elemente der Musik (Melodie, Rhytmus und Groove) zu eigen gemacht und wird mit seiinen Werken noch lange Zeit übberleben.

As far as I know, this is the best recording.

[@user-xm8ij2tk9h]

How wonderful performance ❤

[@ogre6666]

Amazingly bright sonata

[@osilliso]

This is absolutely amazing! Just discovering both Kapustin and Volodin :-) Fantastic discoveries!

[@pmwkiy6879]

I am sure that you would have discovered Steven Osborne and Marc Andre Hamelin; both are recording artists of the greatest composer and performer, namely N Kapustin.

[@madraprimana7602]

Awesome composition and performance. Although i don't know exactly with this composition. but you did very well dude! first time i know and loving this composition because of your performance

[@pmwkiy6879]

So very, cleanly played. You'll have N Kapustin's blessings.

[@ericalapayre722]

Joey Tribbiani plays the piano !!

[@crufus]

bold motives, i like it, rather more

[@Countrapuntienne]

In my opinion, there's a lot of virtuosity but not a lot of refinement in this interpretation. It's too heavy. The Kapustin interpretation is probably the best, refined, light and detailed. Steven Osborne also plays it very well.

[@DdavidoffC]

Yéti Génie Dude, Kapustin has a very heavy, punchy style...what are you talking about? (I'm not saying it's a bad style -- it suits his music quite well.)

[@grahamlyons8522]

Yéti Génie unless you're a virtuoso of the highest rank don't even start on this piece! I know this well having listened many times to the excellent Steven Osborne version. I think Volodov's interpretation here is magnificent: clarity, rhythm, contrasts, expressiveness. We must have different ears.

[@ramonmiranda223]

A musician may change his mind, but this is how he feels about the piece when he plays it now? I enjoyed this performance a lot. Kapustin playing Kapustin is different from this. Isn't there much to learn from varied interpretations?

[@LK050773]

Leol Sum Son has a meaningful interpretation, but here there are no accents, only tempo kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX7GY3Z5a5KSfLs

[@aneklines9732]

Dont try to impress with the technic you have.. try to impress with the music you can give!!!!

[@twilbry7807]

The name Alexei Volodin sounds like a bootleg of Alexander Borodin

[@crufus]

LOL

[@buy2600]

Do you see situation, this video is not'h continous record. The player is subsequently installed, or it's AI product.

[@mashatomi734]

Soooo badddd！！

[@MichaelXinSun]

That's a lot of refinement, actually kind of too much... Great techniques as a classical pianist, but not necessarily good when you're playing the Jazz genre. Don't play Jazz music as Classical.

[@Hes1oscillations]

I guess that's one way to put it

[@p1anosteve]

@@thepianocornertpc That's not strictly true many do. Gwylm Simcock or Hiromi for example would be able to play this if they put the work in. But this is not actually jazz as Kapustin has said.

[@crufus]

of course bro this is not about jazz music .... and the "refinement" works well in the piece.

[@teodorb.p.composer]

But this is classical music. Practiaclly pure classical music, only the rythms and harmonies are shaped in Jazz.

[@MegaPianogenius]

sorry goes on forever and sounds the same throughout , boring not like the classics

[@9827george]

??

[@eliaseiffert2207]

sam333 sorry shut up.

[@user-ut2gc5jl8z]

You just don't understand this music yet.

[@vivvpprof]

If it sounds "the same throughout" for you, that's only because you were only able to remember the first few dozen measures, then your senses got overloaded. Too much stimuli. I hope you recover 👍🏻
