Kapp's career is distinguished by his broad exploration of both celebrated and underrecognized compositions, bringing them into the contemporary consciousness with a fresh perspective. His discography is a testament to his versatility and deep understanding of the classical music realm. From the intricate Romantic Piano Concertos series, showcasing his adept handling of nuanced piano orchestrations, to his skillful interpretations of works by composers like Schumann, Martin, Balakirev, Lyapunov, and Sibelius, Kapp has demonstrated an exceptional ability to bridge the historical with the modern.
