I had an incredible conversation with Ophelia Gordon —concert pianist, recording artist, and one of the world's leading interpreters of Nikolai Kapustin's music—for Season 5, Episode 12! Ophelia's artistry defies categorization. She seamlessly blends the rhythmic pulse of jazz with the technical depth of classical music—a rare and extraordinary balance. Her discovery of Kapustin's music was a pivotal moment, leading her to a composer who, like her, refused to be boxed into a single genre.
“As soon as I started playing jazz, I understood it was something for me. I understood that I had to combine the two musics.” These were the words of composer Nikolai Kapustin, born in Ukraine in 1937 and a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory, the “two musics” being classical and jazz. From Kapustin's pen came an impeccable fusion of the two genres, with no trace of shallow crossover. Raymond Bisha introduces the programme on a recent recording that includes Kapustin's Second and Sixth Piano Concertos, with soloist Frank Dupree accompanied variously by the SWR Big Band and the SWR Symphony Orchestra.
"Musik, die einfach viel zu gut ist!", so beschreibt der Pianist Frank Dupree die Musik von Nikolai Kapustin. Dupree hat ein neues Album rausgebracht mit dem SWR Symphonieorchester und der SWR Big Band. Über die neue CD spricht er mit Kathrin Hasselbeck.

Es ist bereits das dritte Album, das der junge Pianist Frank Dupree dem Klavierwerk des ukrainisch-russischen Komponisten Nikolai Kapustin widmet. Dessen gekonnter Mix aus Klassik und Jazz macht Laune. Und Dupree trifft genau den richtigen Ton.
The pianist Frank Dupree's new album for Capriccio is his third devoted to the music of Kapustin: his previous concerto album, which included the Fourth Piano Concerto, made it to the short list in the Concerto category for last year's Gramophone Classical Music Awards, and this new release, as well as containing the Fifth Piano Concerto, also includes the Concerto for two pianos and percussion, and the Sinfonietta for two pianos, both works find Frank joined by Adrian Brendle, and Dominik Beykirch conducts the Berlin RSO in the Fifth Piano Concerto. James Jolly caught up with Frank to talk about how he discovered Kapustin's music and how it perfectly plays to his strengths as both a classical and jazz pianist.

Der ukrainische Komponist Nikolai Kapustin, der 2020 im Alter von 82 Jahren gestorben ist, hat ein entscheidendes Kapitel russischer Jazzgeschichte geschrieben. Er verstand den Jazz allerdings als komponierte Konzertmusik und wandte sich von der Improvisation ab. „Wenn man genau hinhört, kann man eigentlich nur Schnipsen.“ sagt Frank Dupree, über Kapustins Musik. Der Pianist und Dirigent setzt sich dafür ein, dass Kapustins Musik mehr Gehör findet im Konzertleben.

Nikolai Kapustin kannte Geschichte und Stilistik des Jazz, aber er kopierte nicht, sondern hatte diese Musik im Blut und ließ wirklich zwei Welten ineinanderfließen. Der Pianist Frank Dupree und das Württembergische Kammerorchester unter Case Scaglione vermitteln davon einen brillanten Eindruck.
Der Pianist Frank Dupree spricht über Nikolai Kapustin, dessen Musik sich im spannenden Grenzbereich zwischen Klassik und Jazz bewegt, und erzählt, wie es war, mit 13 Jahren bereits bei Peter Eötvös dirigieren zu studieren, warum er so gern vom Klavier aus dirigiert, warum er Beethoven mit seinem Jazztrio spielt und Schumanns Dichterliebe mit einem Bratscher statt einem Sänger, wie er im Lockdown mit Kollegen gemeinsam über Hunderte Kilometer hinweg Kammermusik gemacht hat und wie man auch Klassik mit Witz ins Bild setzen kann. Außerdem spielt er Kapustin auf einem modernen Bechstein und Chick Corea auf einem Flügel von 1845.
Significantly influenced by his experience of playing in some of the earliest Soviet jazz bands, Nikolai Kapustin trained as a pianist at the Moscow Conservatory but subsequently devoted himself to composition. His output includes many works for piano, two of which are featured on this new album — the Fourth Piano Concerto and the Concerto for Violin, Piano and Orchestra, along with his Chamber Symphony, Op. 57. Raymond Bisha introduces both the music and the propulsive energy of Frank Dupree who appears variously as piano soloist and conductor throughout the program.
In this episode of The Outspoken Podcast, host Shana Cosgrove talks to professional pianists and founders of The Concert Truck, Susan Zhang and Nick Luby. The pair talk about the beginning stages of starting their business and what it’s like performing concerts in a truck! They also speak about their other musical experiences such as their education, teaching piano, and their entrepreneurial view of the industry. QUOTES "The only reason to do music is the music itself." Nick Luby - [09:40] "There are a lot of ups and downs with learning to play an instrument, or really learning any craft well. I think that it’s good to experience that. Even when you’re young. Because you learn that to get better than anything, you’re going to have to feel those uncomfortable feelings. And that’s an important part of the process." Susan Zhang - [13:13] “If you’re a great improviser, then you’re automatically a good composer because improvisation is spontaneous composition.” Nick Luby - [16:14] TIMESTAMPS [00:04] Intro [01:00] Nick Luby Musical Excerpt [01:30] Meet Nick Luby and Susan Zhang [02:08] Teaching Piano [04:20] Meeting and Creating The Concert Truck [07:54] College [09:03] Family [10:25] Susan’s Education Experience [10:53] Susan Zhang Musical Excerpt [11:25] Susan’s Parents [12:00] Kids Starting in Music [14:33] Vulnerability and Improvisation in Music [17:13] Success [17:49] Adopting The Concert Truck [19:47] Entrepreneurship [21:54] Nick Luby and Susan Zhang Musical Excerpt [22:23] Entrepreneurship Continued [25:03] Nyla Technology Solutions [25:36] Driving The Concert Truck [27:37] First Concert to Now [33:37] Wrap Up Questions [35:35] Outro RESOURCES https://peabody.jhu.edu/ (Johns Hopkins Peabody Institute) https://www.gilman.edu/ (Gilman School) https://www.wesleyan.edu/ (Wesleyan University) https://www.biography.com/musician/johann-sebastian-bach (Johann Sebastion Bach) https://www.biography.com/musician/wolfgang-mozart (Wolfgang Mozart) https://www.biography.com/musician/ludwig-van-beethoven (Ludwig van Beethoven) https://www.biography.com/musician/frederic-chopin#:~:text=Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric%20Chopin%20was%20a%20renowned,piano%20compositions%20were%20highly%20influential.
