Piano duo Fedorova & Takser
Even five years after the death of the ingenious composer Nikolai Kapustin, his music, as an artist who bridged musical worlds, is unfortunately still an insider tip. How fortunate that musicians like the renowned Vancouver based piano duo Fedorova & Takser devote themselves to these entirely timeless, magnificent works. On GENUIN, the duo releases Kapustin’s “Triptych” from 2012, which is appearing on record for the first time in Europe and America. The music is typical Kapustin: a captivating and foot-tapping mix of jazz and classical modernism, which comes across as effortlessly light as if improvised, although it is meticulously notated down to the last musical rest.
