Kapustin's Concerto for 2 Pianos and Percussion, op 104, was written in 2002. From the opening movement this piece swings, especially with the presence of the drums, and presents a great variety of jazz moods in an intensely personal chamber composition. The slow movement conveys one of those beautiful lyric moments that are sprinkled on Kapustin's vast output, with a placid climate created by suggestive harmonies - but also an exhilarating presto central section. The delirious finale collects impressions from its predecessors, although some recurrent rhythmic sequences confer its own character on this third movement. The Concerto has been recorded on SACD by Ludmig Angelov and Daniel del Pino (pianos) with Neopercusión (Juanjo Guillem and Rafael Gálvez) on "2+2 4 Kapustin" (Non Profit Music NPM 1011)
