I recently caught up with the amazing keyboard virtuoso Vitalij Kuprij for an in-depth sit-down interview. He has quite an extensive resume, with his nine solo albums and long-time work with prog-metal bands Artension and Ring of Fire. Most recently he has been touring and recording with Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Some of the subjects we covered:
- His musical background, including studying in Ukraine, Russia and Switzerland
- That one special album that turned him onto rock
- Balancing his Classical studies and work with the neo-classical rock side
- Performing with Savatage at Wacken
- His co-written song for TSO, King Rurik
- Writing and recording his new solo release
- The imminent return of Artension
