Re: [Nicolai Kapustin Discussion Group] recordings query

He has definitely made commercial recordings of his works, of which I have several (and while it's dangerous to make such a broad statement as "he is the best interpreter of his own works", I do tend to enjoy most of his pieces his way rather than Hamelin's or Osborne's...geez, the guy is a pianistic machine!).  But none of these are of live recitals.  Good question, I wonder if any exist.

I do believe he has made commercial recordings of his works, but they are generally not available in the West, at least not yet. I have read that he is the best interpreter of his own music. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the subject will post here.

Both classical and jazz pianophiles are renowned for recording live
recitals wherever possible. Is it unusual that nothing seems to have
surfaced for Nikolai K? Did he give solo piano recitals at all or was
it just with band or trio? Is there a chance that some broadcast
material may exist?
Thanks,

Rob C

Steven Osborne's recordings of Kapustin's Preludes in a Jazz Style (Op. 54) in my opinion sometimes even surpass Kapustin's own interpretation (for example Op....

A bit of confusion has crept in. I was wondering about recordings of live recitals or off-air broadcasts. I have most of Kapustin's commercial recordings which...
