CD Reviews

A legendary musical gem!

"
The peerless expression, sublime virtuosity and untamed energy displayed by this outstanding pianist, proves by far he belonged to a musical generation that simply has vanished.

His flaming fingering has engaged to any listener since the first bar. And this selection includes certainly, one of the most difficult piano passages you and me ever know. He surmounts all the obstacles with an impressive easiness and absolute comittment.

This album includes the most celebrated moments about Liszt in three different periods of his life, as well as three different auidences around the world. 1973, 1979, and 1983, in which Wild was in his 58, 64 and 68, respectively. Bravura passages performed without any difficulty will make of you a future hard fan of him,in case you have not listened him yet.

So,when you decide to acquire this album, your choice will be right, because we are talking about one of the supreme American pìanists of the last Century, underrated for great audiences around the world by unexplainable reasons."
