"Allegro marcato." Excerpt from the Op 4 set captured on mono vinyl, ca. 1958. Schumann has been one of Bashkirov's great composers. Interestingly, apart from the Fantasy in C, he plays mostly the lesser-known works, always making a great case for them.
@SDpiano: I also think that Bashkirov is a wonderful pianist and teacher, but this performance is really bad. Especially the wrong rythm is disturbing me.

I absolutely admire Bashkirov... this recording has wrong rhythms (opening) and notes (middle section). I feel terrible writing this down...
