Product Description

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Nikolai Kapustin's piano mastery with this 2008 release from Naxos. Spanning just over 54 minutes, this album is a delightful journey through a diverse collection of Kapustin's compositions, showcasing his unique blend of classical and jazz influences. The album opens with the four-movement Piano Sonata No. 15, Op. 127, also known as "Fantasia quasi Sonata," a testament to Kapustin's ability to weave intricate melodies and rhythms into a cohesive and engaging whole.

Finally, the album concludes with the Scherzo from Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 54, a lively and playful finale to this remarkable collection.
