Nikolai Kapustin: | |
Sonata No. 2 for Piano, Op. 54: I. Allegro molto | ||
(excerpt) | ||
[3'57" / 29 kB] | ||
“Kapustin’s style is a fascinating and distinctive blend of classical and jazz styles, as he expounds his jazz-based melodic and rhythmic ideas within the structures of classical sonata form. The jazz influence is of course nothing new: many composers, including Ravel and Poulenc, have incorporated jazz elements in their work, but whereas their music makes occasional and relatively superficial reference to jazz, Kapustin’s is unthinkable without it.” (From sleeve notes to “Kapustin: Piano Music”, Hyperion CDA67159.) |
