    Marvellous. The saxophone repertoire would be so much the poorer without this!

    We usually expect to hear the piano with an important place in his music, so that’s a surprising but good one.

    Favorite work by Kapustin all the time :) Recommend to listen this piece in 1.25x, such a VIBE

    In my opinion, this is one of Kapustin's most fun concerto to listen to, along with the 4th piano concerto. I mean.. entire development section (starting at 4:31 and ends at around 11:07) just an absolute joy to listen to (especially the parts starting at 5:25 and 7:03!) And not to mention the extremely rousing coda..

    every time I put kapustin on in the background I forget about whatever I was supposed to be doing and kapustin just becomes the main focus, no other music can do it like this does my favorite is 7:59 when it builds up and all just explodes in the orchestra

    There are not many orchestral recordings of this sadly.. I find this recording, even though it is definitely not the best played, is way more exciting than the other orchestral recordings I found. Edit: Speaking of which, these are the recordings of this concerto that I've found: 1. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGFmu7ShZ5W0abw.html - The one I used in this score-video. 2. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hK2q25KtXaypqdo.html - This recording is pretty alright, the instruments are clear but it just doesn't have the excitement and energy that I think this concerto really needs. The brass in this recording is super good though, you might like it. (P.S. I just read that this is actually the premiere recording of the concerto which was recorded in the 80s but only released in 2002) 3. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKFty85wYLuXYaw.html - This recording is pretty good, I would have considered using this one if it has a good audio quality.. although to be honest some of the parts of the development section are quite under-played. There are two more recordings, but they are recordings of the piano reduction of the orchestra.

    @@musicboiscores IMHO, the second recording you listed above is superior to the first, primarily because of the strong and rhythmically surefooted playing of the soloist (Volkov). While I agree that the recording you chose has better excitement and energy as a whole, I don't think that makes up for Stepanova's fairly hesitant / unsure playing. When following along with the score, I feel that I also noticed many more wrong notes in Stepanova's playing than Volkov's, though I didn't keep an exact count.
