The user-friendly URL should be up again in a few days time. Every now and
again they seem to want some money from me.
As others have mentioned the true home of the site is and has always been at:
http://gmlile.brinkster.net/kapustin/
I'm relieved to find that people noticed the absence of the site.

I believe it's still accessible from http://gmlile.brinkster.net/kapustin/ .
Even in the past, http://nikolaikapustin.net/ was in essence a redirect to the
above URL; now, that redirect seems to be out of order. It seems like it should
be simple enough to fix... maybe the domain registration has expired, or
something?

Ludmil Angelov - a great exponent and promoter, through his performances and
recordings, of Nikolai Kapustin's works - is currently including the 14th Piano
Sonata in his concert repertoire.
He premiered the work in Italy and France earlier this month, and will also be
playing it at the Apollonia Festival in Sozopol, Bulgaria, on 30 August
<www.apollonia.bg>
Ludmil is also releasing a new CD of Kapustin's works at the end of September
2009, including the aforementioned Sonata, the Concerto for 2 pianos &
percussion op 104, the Concert Etudes op.40 and the Paraphrase on Manteca for 2
pianos op 129. More details to follow when available!
Dear Friend,
I'm pleased to announce the publication of some more works by Nikolai Kapustin:
- 8 Concert Études for piano solo op 40, the Japanese edition with fingering by
the composer and a preface and commentaries by Masahiro Kawakami in English,
Japanese and Russian (catalogue no. PEPS 1004)
- 24 Preludes for piano solo op 53, same as above (PEPS 1005)
- Concerto for Eleven Instruments op 90, miniature score (PPMS 1001) - the full
score and set of parts are available on rental
- Saxophone Concerto op 50, miniature score containing the original full
orchestral version and the alto saxophone & piano reduction (PPMS 1002) - the
full score and set of parts will be available on rental soon
- String Quartets No. 1 op 88 & No. 2 op 132, miniature score (PPMS 1003) - the
parts for each quartet will be published soon
All the above titles will be available for purchase on our tutti website in a
few days' time.
Best wishes
Tim
Hi, too bad I am in Phoenix, AZ which is a bit too far. However, I have
worked on Kapustin pieces with my students over the past few years.
Since Kapustin is not very well known in these parts, their performances
were a hit every time!!! The audiences loved it!

Oh, if only I weren't across the ocean, I would have been here in an instant! Is
there a recording that could be made available? I don't think it's possible to
hear it otherwise! Thanks!

Thanks Tim. Although this news made me slightly sad... ;(
All in good time.
You're right. I will have to update the schedule at some point.
At the moment we're concentrating on the 2 string quartets and the saxophone
concerto, both of which should be out next month, as well as the
long-outstanding violin sonata, for which see previous posts ad infinitum ad
nauseam!
So the piano sonatas 3, 7, 10, 11 + 13-18 have rather fallen by the wayside, I'm
sorry to say.
Maybe in the autumn? It's really up to our Russian colleagues.
Sorry not to be of any use whatsoever,
Cheers

Hi, Tim.
Could you please tell whether the "Twickenham" sonata is going to be published
soon? The latest schedule said it was to be printed 2009.03.
Any news?
Yes, there will (but maybe not till next month). In April/May we're expecting
the Saxophone Concerto miniature score and the two string quartets (score and
parts) and are ever hopeful for the Violin Sonata.
The Sweet Georgia Brown Variations are STILL under copyright clearance from the
original publishers of the tune, but I'm hopeful for a resolution to this
problem this year.
As you can probably guess, I spend much of my life living in hope...!
Then I'll update the schedule for all to see!
Cheers
Tim

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 are for the most part currently available.
Links have appeared (and thanks very much for these) to transfers of
LP recordings that Kapustin made in the 60s and 70s but again I wonder
what live gigs or broadcasts NK was doing and whether anyone recorded
them.
Thanks,
Rob

Very generous indeed!
It would have been hard to find them if you hadn't shared this with
the group.
Thank you!

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.

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. 54 No. 23), and Marc-André Hamelin's
performance of the Concert Etudes (Op. 40) is dazzling, bringing out
what Kapustin's slower renditions show less clearly, especially in the
faster numbers such as Op. 40 No. 5.
But I think there's a highly cerebral component to Kapustin's music
that pianists without Kapustin's highly rhythmic style and clear
accentation tend to miss. (Compare his performances of Op. 108 and Op.
118 with those of Kawakami Masahiro, for example.) While indeed most
of his commercial recordings are not published by Western labels, it
is at least now possible to import reprints from HMV Japan, I think,
as they have started publishing them recently. You'll need to know a
smattering of Japanese to navigate the site (hmv.co.jp), though -
search for カプースチン ("kapuusuchin"), for
one thing.
However, what I think Rob was originally asking was whether there were
any recordings of live performances of his. As far as I'm aware, the
majority of his piano opus was composed after his performing days, and
he now mainly keeps to himself, so if you're looking for live
recordings you may only find things with very low opus numbers. I have
found a couple jazz band numbers on Youtube, for example. There are
also a couple videos on Youtube of him recording in the Triton studios
(of Op. 66 No. 2 and Op. 54 No. 11, if I recall correctly), if you
haven't heard his own performances before.
