Great,

Thanks, and keep up the good work. Rumor has it that Rebecca Penneys of
the piano faculty at Eastman has developed an interest in Kapustin of
late . . .

Subject: [kapustin discussion group] Kapustin CD re-releases & other
news

Dear Friends

This morning I had an email from Octavia Records in Tokyo with the
news that in August they will re-release the two outstanding (in both
senses!) recordings by Nikolai Kapustin that have been unavailable for
some time. Please note the new catalogue numbers:

OVCT-00026 (formerly DICC-26073, Kapustin Plays Kapustin) : Piano
Sonatas Nos 2 & 3, Andante op 58, Introduction and Scherzino for cello
solo, Duo for alto sax & cello

OVCT-00027 (formerly DICC-26072, A Jazz Portrait) : Piano Sonatas Nos
4, 5 & 6, 10 Bagatelles, Andante op 58

You should be able to get these through www.amazon.co.jp once they've
been issued. Octavia's proposed European distributor, Codaex, should
by then have stocks on the way if you don't mind waiting a bit.

By the way, these are the same CDs as shown at the top of the home
page of this Kapustin site.

Other bits of news : A-RAM will be issuing the Carlo Levi-Minzi CD
(Piano Sonatas Nos 8, 9, 10 & 12) later this year, probably in the
autumn. At MusT we will be publishing the score of the 24 Preludes op
53 very soon (and Corey Hamm will finally get his prize!). I'm very
sorry for the delay with this work, but you wouldn't believe the
problems we've had getting the origination done. This has also thrown
our Kapustin publishing programme (see my post/email of 22 February
2005) back by about 2 months, but better late than never I suppose.

Also in the pipeline (but not mentioned in the publishing programme)
are the scores of the Piano Sonatas Nos 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 & 12 and - the
24 Preludes & Fugues op 82. This last work is huge - about 220 pages
of music - so we'll probably publish it in 2 volumes. I would be very
interested in your feedback on this.

We're working on a complete listing of Kapustin's works, similar to
Onno van Rijen's but containing information about the availability of
scores - proposed publication dates and the like. Once we've finished
this I'll circulate it to you all.

With my best wishes



Tim
