First, there are recordings of Kapustin playing his own music. You can't get much better than that in terms of the music. However, the audio is not always top drawer. Try some one YouTube to see if it's good enough for you.IMO, the best recording I've heard is by Shan-Shan Sun. I think she qualifies as a "babe". Check out this YouTube clip and see if you like her performance of Kapustin's Concert Etude Op. 40 No. 3: Toccatina.
Shan-Shan Sun plays Kapustin's Toccatina
Kapustin sounds like jazz, but every note is written. He considered himself a composer, not a jazz performer. In the Toccatina, you'll immediately be reminded of Piazzola.
Just for fun, here is Kapustin himself, playing with a big band.
