INCREDIBLE PIANO PLAYING!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Earl Wild Plays His Transcriptions of Gershwin (Audio CD)
I purchased Earl Wild's first recording of these pieces on vinyl in 1978, and literally wore it out from playing it over and over. What incredible technique and musicianship! This newer recording on CD is just as amazing. If you wish to hear great Gershwin melodies transcribed -ala- Franz Liszt's operatic fantasies, then this is for you.

Wild About Wild!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Earl Wild Plays His Transcriptions of Gershwin (Audio CD)
One of the most interesting pianists before the public today is Earl Wild. Critics have never known quite what to do with Mr. Wild. Discs like this one are a big part of the reason. Mr. Wild is a super virtuoso on the order of a Horowitz or a Cziffra. However he has always very cheerfully played what interests him, regardless of what critics would think. This marvelous CD is Gershwin's music as filtered thru the mind of a Liszt or a Godowsky. Especially enjoyable is Wild's variations on "Someone to Watch Over Me". There is an error in the Amazon.com notes: The Porgy & Bess Fantasy is by Wild, not Percy Grainger. Fans of Gershwin or fans of virtuoso piano will both enjoy this charming (and amazing) CD.

The best Gershwin pianist, hands down!,
By NPUL "Neal" (Mobile, AL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earl Wild Plays His Transcriptions of Gershwin (Audio CD)
Earl Wild and his transcriptions of Gershwin are without peer! I especially like "I Got Rhythm." Every serious piano student should learn at least one of these. Get this today, and be delighted to know that not all classical pianists are snobs who turn their nose up to this kind of "less serious" music.
