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

[boonyboony]

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

[파랑파도-mp]

Just fantastic. Thx Kapustin… Your sound drives me to the edge of the sky

NK is a GENIUS!! He infuses many genres inside is orchestral pieces. I hope to try something like this soon.

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

[a-ramenartist]

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

[viewingchannel]

Is there anywhere you know I could purchase this from?

[a-ramenartist]

aint no way the breath of the wild composers didn't listen to this

[billclintonscomputer]

is there a better recording? The horns in this one sound a bit sloppy...

[icewingsky]

14:28 how the hell the drummer did that sound? (pitch change?)

[musicboiscores]

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..

This concerto is such a beauty piece! I wish I can play it one with an orchestra. Should I travel miles and miles for it.

[bgluck.]

do you have the alto solo sheet music by chance chance?
