The third ONYX album by the brilliant Korean musician Song Yeol-mu is a loving tribute to Capustin, with whom she has had a close friendship for many years! Welcome to the enchanting world of Kapustin, where classical and jazz are brilliantly fused together. Popular composer Nikolai Kapustin (1937-2020) has been loved by many for his accessible style that exquisitely combines the techniques and language of classical and jazz. Pianist Sung Yeol-mu, who has been a longtime supporter and friend of Kapustin, is releasing a disc dedicated to the unique genius who sadly passed away in 2020. The album is both a loving tribute and a wonderful introduction to the music of Kapustin. Korean-born Song Yeol-mu is a pianist who boasts a spectacular career that includes winning the Chopin Competition in 2005, the second prize at the Van Cliburn Competition in 2009 (won by Nobuyuki Tsujii), and the second prize at the Tchaikovsky Competition in 2011 (won by Daniil Trifonov).The elegant interpretations, glittering touches, and varied and dramatic performances produced by his two hands have attracted worldwide attention.
