The Joy of Classical Music Ep 170 - Nothing but Nicolai Kapustin Last week’s episode featured two Jazz influenced classical works by Ukrainian Soviet composer Nicolai Kapustin. Energised by the joy and verve of his style, this week I’ve decided to dig a little deeper into his repertoire and devote a whole episode to his music. Nikolai Kapustin performs Kapustin – Impromptu No.2. Ludmil Angelov and Daniel Del Pino perform Nicolai Kapustin – Paraphrase on Dizzy Gillespie's Manteca. Frank Dupree and Adrian Brendle perform Nicolai Kapustin – Sinfonietta for 4-Hand Piano. Yuja Wang and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra perform Nicolai Kapustin – Piano Concerto No. 4. Frank Dupree and the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra of Heilbronn perform Nikolai Kapustin – Chamber Symphony. Exploring classical music in all its glories and complexities. From the sweetest melodic to the cutting edge of the avant-garde... from the deep past to the freshest contemporary. All of it. The joy of classical music. Listen
