While I think nobody will ever top Kapustin’s own performance/recording, this is really excellent. Sounds like hundreds of droplets of silver plocking and placking on delicate surfaces. Gorgeous stuff.

i think he did the dynamics better than kapustin himself

please please, rehearse all 8 Etudes and post them here! This is the BEST interpretation of the Pastorale I know of. And I have been comparing for more than three years - the time of my addiction to Kapustin! Yor playing is so light and poetical, whimsical and romantic, clear with full control over the technique.

Hey, I totally agree with you. This guy brings out the absolute BEST in this music. Can you recommend any other good recordings for someone almost finishing the Concert Etude no. 6 and beginning no. 1?

A very musical interpretation which stands out above all others on KZitem. We are no longer listening to an often rushed technical study piece on a hammerklavier but a very refined concert stage quality presentation, on a concert quality instrument, highlighting the beautiful melody lines with beautiful dynamics shading and phrasing.

I closed my eyes and listened to this one. I was drifting off to sleep and at the same time transported. It was surreal. I was …amazed.

I just love how laid back and how he was really into it playing this. His ability to create color and character with such care for touch, I'm just speechless.

Awesome! Nobody will ever play this Kaputsin masterpiece better than this. Quite stunning. Kim is probably one of the very few pianists that could play Rachmaninoff's Etude Tableaux opus 39 #8 in D minor correctly, by bringing out all the exquisite inner voicings and melodic lines, which escape most pianists.

This just exquisite playing. Ben Kim might consider playing all the Concert Etudes. He has a marvelous light touch.

I always love it when someone plays Kapustin, but this interpretation is quite exceptional. It is very airy and makes me think of an old farmhouse in the mountains with cattle in the fields nearby and a river passing beside it. Excellent job!

I have played this piece, though not in years, but I know it well. It's extremely difficult and to get beyond the difficulties and capture its character as Ben Kim does here requires pianism, musicality and ears of the highest order. I love that he does exactly what Kapustin (RIP) asks for at the end -- just let it disappear. A rit would be lily gilding.

Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful composer! I'll have to listen to more, but you could build a reputation popularizing Kapustin. It's like a breeze carrying a Gershwin tune, your touch is perfect for this
