Almost through his remarkable memoir - HIGHLY recommended reading, by the way - and am increasingly in awe of this prodigious musician and unique personality!

More than just great. Fabulous! Alan in London

Fantastic velocity and leggiero cascades ! One level with Horovitz, Cziffra a.o. !

[@pianoman551000]

There are so many pianists on youtube who attempt to play Wild's transcriptions, but they all fall short of Wild's pianistic brilliance/virtuosity in their attempt to play these extremely difficult etudes.

Шикарные этюды

Wow, never heard that! Sort of like Art Tatum playing Godowsky,. Really nice transfer as usual.

Is this a new issue of this performance? I don't think it's been available in CD. A later version recorded, I think, for Chesky is available.

[@1fattyfatman]

It is from the LP. I’d check out Ivory Classics to see if there is a CD version. I believe it’s run by Wild’s partner and he has the rights now.

@@rebeccadunbar5828 Thanks, Rebecca, for listing the pieces! I recognized them all except "Liza" and "Sombody love me." I did not know what a WONDERFUL/fantastic arranger/transcriber of standards Earl WIld was known to be. Just stunning arrangements for solo piano!!

Truly one of the greatest ever pianists totally in command of the keyboard in the humblest way.@@pianoman551000
