Earl Wild Plays Brahms

Product Description There is no substitute for the wisdom of age and experience. Earl Wild, the legendary 86-year-old Grammy Award-winning virtuoso pianist, has a new recording of the piano music of Johannes Brahms. "Of the great many recordings of Brahms' monumental F minor Sonata No. 3 that I have heard, Earl Wild's is far and away the most fully realized, the most musically satisfying, and the most breathtaking. His performance is simultaneously spacious and taut, orchestrally textured and utterly transparent, sweeping in feel and elegantly detailed. Wild's command of the Sonata is so complete and his playing (even at 86) so brilliantly captures its expansive tonal palette, volatile drama and its exquisite poetry, we are apt to forget that Brahms' writing teems with technical difficulties. Wild's Paganini Variations have irresistible flair - they are as brilliant musically as they are technically. The recording as a whole is unsurpassable." Review A performance of tremendous fire and atmosphere, all dynamic markings observed with uncommon care. Finest recordings in recent years. -- International Piano, Mar./Apr. 2003Piano lovers should certainly hear this disc. -- BBC Magazine, April 2003
