Happy Birthday to Dmitri Bashkirov who turns 86 today. He has raised multiple generations of professional pianists -- chances are if you like someone who plays, that person studied with him. This live recording is from Montevideo, Uruguay on 21 March 1966, uploaded despite some tape distortion and a piano that a professional pianist today would never have the chance to try to manage. The photo shows Bashkirov top left, standing next to Grigory Ginzburg, Abram Shatskes and Sergei Dorensky, with Lia Levinson, Goldenweiser, Ludmila Sosina and Leonid Roizman in the front row.
