Celebrating his 80th birthday this season, earl wild is truly the last of the Romantic asone of the last on a long line of great virtuoso pianist/composers.
http://www.sonyclassical.com/artists/wild/bio.htm
Celebrating his 80th birthday this season, Earl Wild is truly "the last of the Romantic Pianists." This eminent musician is considered internationally as one of the last on a long line of great virtuoso pianist/composers. Often heralded as, "a super virtuoso" and "one of the 20th Century's greatest pianists," Earl Wild has been a major legendary figure performing throughout the world for seven decades. Born on November 26, 1915 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the young Wild displayed extraordinary musical ability from the age of three. By the time he was six years of age, he was reading music fluently and before his twelfth birthday, he was studying with the famous teacher, Selmar Janson. Earl Wild was then placed into a programme for artistically gifted young people at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University). Still in his early teens, Wild began playing piano and celeste in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Otto Klemperer and by the age of nineteen, was already a concert hall veteran and had composed many piano transcriptions as well as arrangements for chamber orchestra that were often performed on local radio stations. He was also invited to perform on the radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh (the first radio station in the United States) and made such an impression that he began working there on a regular basis. During this early period of his career, Earl Wild gave a brilliant and critically well received performance of the Liszt E Flat Piano Concerto with Dimitri Mitropoulos and the Minneapolis Symphony in Pittsburgh's Syria Mosque, without the benefit of a rehearsal!

Earl Wild
Definition, Bedeutung, Erkl¤rung im Lexikon
Earl Wild 26. November in Pittsburgh ) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pianist und Komponist. Earl Wild war Sch¼ler von Selmar Janson, Egon Petri, Paul Doguereau und Helene Barere, der Frau des groŸen russischen Virtuosen Simon Barere. 1937 wurde er Pianist bei der NBC, dadurch wurde Earl Wild 1939 der erste, der einen Klavierabend f¼r die œbertragung im Fernsehen gab. 1942 kam die allgemeine Bekanntheit durch sein Solo in Gershwins "Rhapsody in Blue" in einer Rundfunk¼bertragung unter Toscanini. 1945 wechselte er zur ABC, der er bis 1968 treu blieb. In den 60'er Jahren entstanden bis heute legend¤re Aufnahmen f¼r "Readers Digest", v.a. von virtuosen romantischen Klavierkonzerten. Wild komponierte auŸerdem eine Reihe von eigenen Werken, als bekanntestes die 1992 erschienenen "Variationen ¼ber ein Thema von Stephen Foster" (oder "Doo-Dah-Variations") und verfaŸte zahlreiche Transkriptionen f¼r Klavier, v.a. von Gershwin-Werken und Rachmaninow-Liedern. Earl Wild war zu seiner guten Zeit einer der technisch besten Pianisten aller Zeiten. Schwierigkeiten scheinen in seinen legend¤ren 60'er-Jahre-Aufnahmen aller Rachmaninow-Konzerte nicht zu existieren, trotz auŸerordentlich schneller Tempi. Sein Stil ist US-typisch brillant und sehr objektiv bis leicht unterk¼hlt. In den USA ist Earl Wild, der f¼r sechs US-Pr¤sidenten spielte, durch seine Fernseh- und Rundfunkauftritte und die lange Zeit erheblich bessere Erh¤ltlichkeit seiner vielen Schallplattenaufnahmen deutlich popul¤rer als in Europa.

Earl Wild Earl Wild is a pianist in the grand Romantic tradition. Considered by many to be the last of the great Romantic pianists, this eminent musician is known internationally as one of the last in a long line of virtuoso pianist/composers. Earl Wild has been a legendary figure, performing throughout the world for over seven decades. Born in Pittsburgh in 1915, Earl Wild has received major recognition numerous times in his long career. He was included in the Philips Records series, "The Great Pianists of the 20th Century," with a double disc devoted exclusively to piano transcriptions. He has been featured on two separate occasions in TIME magazine; the most recent being in December 2000, honoring his eighty-fifth birthday. One of only a handful of living pianists to merit an entry in "The Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians," Earl Wild is described as a pianist whose technique "is able to encompass even the most difficult virtuoso works with apparent ease."

"I can tell you that there is no city in the United States
where a Democrat gets a warmer welcome and less votes
than in Columbus, Ohio!" JFK, Remarks in Response to New York's Birthday Salute to the President, May 19, 196 Earl Wild Earl Wild and the Inauguration
At John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Concert in January 1961, Earl Wild, renowned virtuoso pianist and current resident of Columbus, Ohio, presided as the featured pianist in Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with the National Symphony in Constitution Hall. The soon-to-be legendary President was treated to a performance by a legendary pianist playing Gershwin. Rhapsody in Blue seems an appropriate choice for the inaugural concert: we remember Gershwin as an American prodigy who died too young, in the same way that we were destined to remember Kennedy. So too, Kennedy and Wild were trendsetters in technology: Kennedy was the first President to hold live, televised debates and press conferences, and Wild was the first pianist to perform live on television. In 1997, Wild was also the first pianist to stream a live performance over the internet. By the time Wild played for Kennedy in 1961, playing for Presidents was nothing new to him; to date, he has performed for six consecutive Presidents of the United States in his lifetime, beginning with Herbert Hoover.
The Blizzard
There was this horrible blizzard...." So begins Earl Wild's tale about the night he performed at President Kennedy's Inaugural Concert. When he finally arrived, his reward was a chance to talk to the President and his wife backstage for twenty minutes before the show. "I found Mrs. Kennedy to be most charming..." For more memories about this blustery, cold, snowy evening and Earl's impressions of the Kennedys

20. Earl Wild At 85 By Jay Nordlinger
earl wild has always been an uneven pianist, and his many recordings reflect thisinconsistency. We usually get clarity, good sense, and oodles of fingers.

Earl Wild at 85
by Jay Nordlinger W NBC Symphony Orchestra under Toscanini. Wild partnered the violinist Mischa Elman, who now seems as distant as Joachim. During World War II T G minor, Op. 118, which Wild played rather prosaically and unmusically. The tone was weak, the fingers sluggish. Shortly after came the Intermezzo No. 3 in C major, Op. 119, which was shockingly bad: It was rushed, unfeeling, slapped at, slopped through. Shocking. And, oh, how the sensitive pianists have loved this little gem! It was a special piece for Backhaus and Myra Hess, for example. In the Intermezzo No. 2 in E minor (also from the Op. 119) Wild was choppy, unpoetic, inaccurate. Inner voices were smothered. He concluded the set with the Rhapsody No. 2 in G Sonetto 104 del Petrarca , Wild did some things very well, including some remarkably smooth thirds. In the Concert Etude called Un sospiro , he was graceful and limpid, displaying an astonishing legato. Here was the Wild of his highest reputation. The great, sprawling piece seemed small in his hands. The inner voices came through. Everything was commandingly and movingly related. So it was in another Concert Etude
