@zebb1111 ...he has not been getting all THAT MUCH attention, you don't want to get carried away here, maybe...six concertos?, TWENTY sonatas?...maybe one wants to show a little temperamence in the enthusiasm...but what I have heard is generally pretty nice, even this piece here under Hamelin's hands, not all that bad...
@fredericfranc listen to his concerto. i think its the jazz isiom that offends thee. look at his counterpoint in his string quartets. seriously, i think your prejudice against the idiom. Kapustin is an excellent composer deserving of all the attention he has been getting.
@zebb1111 ...comparing Kapustin to Bartok and Prokofiev is wretched excess, but Mr. Hamelin is getting a pretty good review from me here, perhaps I was overimpressed by my "bitch", but she did speak good swedish, perhaps they should have kept her off the video, she "steals the show", somewhat...
...wonderful posing for the photos, but that place, Stockholm, is it?, whereever that is, must be fucking cold...the man can throw some elecriticity into a junky composition by Kapustin...and that bitch spoke great Swedish, great intonation...damn near musically, so to say, eclipsed Mr. Hamelin...not that easy to do...
Hamelin is literally the Roger Federer of piano! Simply unbelievable at both classical and virtuoso jazz and such a cool guy with it. Always love the way he dresses too, so smart yet so refined; rather like his playing! Bravo

@zebb1111 speaking of music composed within a tonal context of course.

@fredericfranc JUNKY COMPOSITION? have you analysed the score? only prokofiev and bartok compare in complexity and musicality.

@TheExarion not really he was great but i feel he bent the composition for his own self aggrandisement at times
