Nikolai Kapustin

Description:

Capustin, who is currently the talk of the town as an amazing composer-pianist who fuses jazz and classical music, has completed "24 Preludes and Fugues" in the great tradition of Bach and Shostakovich. What exactly happens when you fuse the jazz idiom with tonality and counterpoint in this ambitious work that is the result of Kapustin's grand experimentation. A must-hear for all fans of the composer, this huge work is now available on disc, performed by the composer himself with superb technique. The disc also includes a fascinating chamber music piece that the composer has been focusing on in recent years.
