Scott Meek plays Kapustin Variations, op. 41

Live from final DM recital, Auer Hall, Indiana University, October 2010.

This was the last piece on my last recital after 3 years in the doctorate program at IU. A fun way to end!

wow, fantastic! i like your solid interpretation, the transparent and melodious bass from 1:28, the introspective part from 4:25.. and evidently you're on top of the piece technically.

@Sorcerer88 glad you enjoyed it! i checked some of your videos too, keep up the good work!

Wonderful interpretation of such a difficult piece. Your playing is full of elegance and heartfelt love for this great music.

Thank you !

absolutely magificant, i'm currently attempting the prelude Op.53 Op.9 in the hope that one day i'll be able to play the Variations Op.41 as well as you! :)

@AltoSaxOlly thank you and good luck with the prelude!

@scottmeekpiano oh, cool, my recordings aren't solid though, but i've learnt kapustin's suite in the old style op. 28 and i'm polishing it up to something presentable now. it's the best example of his music fusion in my opinion, and just great music, i'm surprised it isn't on youtube yet (i'll see to that).
