Nikolai Kapustin 



Most of my father's music on youtube is piano music. But he also writes chamber music and orchestral music. You can find some samples below.

Chamber Music

Orchestral music from 60s and 70s

 

Below you can find links to some of my father’s orchestral works from 60’s and 70’s. They were recorded in the Soviet Union and are difficult to find nowadays. I hope you will enjoy them. I certainly do! I also included links to some of his music on YouTube.

Toccata (Op. 8)    -  rare videoclip from 1967, Nikolai Kapustin performing with Oleg Lundstrem’s Big Band. This is part of the movie “When the song does not end”. Really amazing!

 

There are many more clips of Nikolai Kapustin’s music on YouTube (mostly piano music).
