Vladimir Bakk plays Moszkowski Caprice Espagnol, op. 37 - video 1983

[@TheVersatileMusician]

I’m a full-time professional pianist-bandleader-composer, and author of Mobsters, Moguls, Movie Stars and More. Vladimir Bakk is one of the moguls in my book. Bakk was an absolute legend throughout great parts of Europe, South America, and Russia. It’s sad that in the United States few have heard of him. He’s not even mentioned in Wikipedia. Shameful! From 2001 to 2004, I spent many memorable moments with Vladimir and Brenda Bakk. I was able to get him booked in four separate recitals. He completely “wowed” his audiences with his pianistic genius. Later, I was saddened to hear of Vladimir’s demise, but feel that right now he’s probably at God’s personal piano, taking turns with his peers: Hofmann, Horowitz, Lhevinne, Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Richter; and I’d bet that Vladimir Bakk is . . . “stealing the show!!”

I know only a performance of this Caprice espagnol really full of charm and vitality....by Margulis.

[@magnoliabranca5149]

Wow...

[@belleliu7921]

tons of wrong notes in the climax

[@michaelj1237]

Sure, but it's not all about hitting the right keys 100 % of the time right? Listening to Bakk's rendition--as a whole--should prove his artistry here.

[@Swybryd-Nation]

Bullshit...I hear tons of correct notes if not All correct...maybe you are not familiar with Spanish music style? Have you ever studied or heard of Iberia by Albeniz?

[@bakuto.1055]

@@Swybryd-Nation you're a guitarist. Don't try to be a smartass and mention a random piece that has nothing to do with this one. He missed a lot but its a good rendition still

[@cesarvallejolopez]

What about the rest of the piece? And where are the so-called wrong notes?
