Piano concertos nos. 2 & 6

"Recording of the month: Capriccio is building a strong portfolio of Kapustin's music, one that looks likely to become a first port of call for those who want his concertos and sundry other works in splendid sound, authoritatively performed by Dupree and confrères. This latest disc presents the Second and Sixth Piano Concertos and four small-scaled but nourishing pieces bursting with musical personality ... This is another splendid Kapustin disc from Capriccio. It's played with just the right level of orchestral jazz elements. It never sounds kitsch, and in Dupree we have just about the best player of Kapustin before the public".

"Frank Dupree here continues his cycle of Kapustin concertos with Nos 2 and 6, plus a sprinkling of fillers. nicely arranged in chronological order ... The performances here are delivered with tremendous zip and pizzazz, not only by the supremely athletic Dupree but also by his favourite drummer Meinhard 'Obi' Jenne and the SWR Big Band and Symphony Orchestra ... Confirmed Kapustin followers have every reason to pounce and none whatsoever to hesitate".
