Video above: Mikhail Zatsepin and Alexander Poeluev (pictured together right) recording in 2021 with Mikhail Zatsepin talking about a unique bellows tremolo that only he played. He was persuaded to share his experience in this video.

At the end of June, Mikhail Zatsepin, a “wonderful musician, educator, a wonderful person, and the winner of the 1982 Coupe Mondiale, Hamburg, Germany has passed away.”

“The man is of multifaceted talent…when he played, he literally drew music. Just as a true artist draws details on canvas with a brush, so did he extract every note”.
