His innovative programming of new music and traditional classical repertoire shows brilliantly the versatility and expressive range of the marimba and is a revelation to his listeners. His extraordinary communicative power and poetic musicality is inspirational. "If there were any doubt that Nakura has potential mass appeal, his encore version of 'Flight of the Bumblebee' gave wing to the notion." - THE WASHINGTON POST This concert was sponsored by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission The Greater Symphony of the earth A Special Solo Performance by Paul Winter November 14, 2004 Grammy-winning soprano saxophonist and composer Paul Winter is one of the pioneers of world music.

Extractions: BUY NOW AmazonUK AmazonUS Earl Wild has been a legend for longer than most of us have been alive; here we have a brand new version of the massive and taxing third sonata, recorded in his 87 th year, a selection of shorter pieces from two years earlier, and a 1982 live performance from Paris of the Paganini Variations.
Extractions: The young American pianist James Giles, a professor at Northwestern University, gave one of the most sheerly inspired piano recitals I can remember hearing for sometime. Inspired partly for the programming, which placed the familiar with the unfamiliar, and inspired partly by self-evident artistry, it was the kind of recital which put the music at the service of the composer and not the performer. For some, Mr Giles performance of Schuberts great sonata might have compared less favourably with a recent one given at the Festival Hall by Evgeny Kissin . Yet, Kissins egomanic, somnambulant performance, taken at a dangerously slow tempo, was a world away from the tempestuous, almost fiery approach which Mr Giles took. Where Mr Kissin had been obtrusive in his use of rubato, Mr Giles used it to the minimum and the effect was to distil a parenthesis of death-hued ambivalence to the noble opening movement. Subtle shadings of pp and ppp playing, so poorly differentiated in Mr Kissins performance, were here radically drawn so when the appearance of the G-flat trill in the bass part of the piano awoke, like a slumbering giant, it did so with thunderous, almost calamitous, force.

Extractions: DGG B0004284 (F) (DDD) TT: 69:47 Earl Wild, who this year celebrates his 90th birthday, continues to amaze. Completely recovered from heart surgery earlier this year, he is now planning a series of 90th birthday concerts this fall. Ivory Classics has just released a CD of live broadcasts from the 1940's (short works of Scarlatti, Mendelssohn, Daquin, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, MacDowell and Chopin, with Liszt's Sonata as the featured work (74003), another containing Chopin's Ballades and Scherzi recorded in 1990 originally issued on Chesky (75001). But prime interest is a CD of recordings made May 23-25, 2004 in Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Buffalo, N.Y. This is labeled "Living History," and indeed it is as the then 88-year old pianist gives powerful readings of Bach, Scriabin, Franck and Schumann. This is playing on a grand scale with no indication of a diminution of technical prowess, an approach to the Franck and Schumann that some might find too athletic. Excellent sonics.

They will be reissuing fine performances from the past, many never before issued on CD, played by both well-known and unjustly-neglected pianists. " Earl Wild Goes To The Movies ," is a reissue of recordings made from 1963-1983, licensed from Reader's Digest , all produced by Charles Gerhardt, and engineered by the legendary Kenneth Wilkinson. These have been perfectly transferred to silver disc and sound better than ever. The title of this CD is perhaps a bit misleading, as some of the music never was featured specifically in movies, although it well could have been; but it doesn't matter, what is here is superb.

Extractions: Send it to a friend! Sunday 3 July 2005 17:45-18:30 (Radio 3) Including a rare interview with American pianist and composer, Earl Wild, possibly the last great exponent of the Romantic tradition of piano playing. And a look at a new book about the gypsy music of the Roma communities in Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Romania. Virtuoso American pianist Earl Wild celebrates his 90th Birthday this year but he continues to practice just as hard as ever and is about to go on tour in the US and to Amsterdam. His repertoire embraces not only the fiendishly difficult piano works of Liszt and Rachmaninov but also his own explosive transcriptions of pieces by composers as diverse as Handel, Tchaikovsky, Bach and Strauss. Wild's career has spanned seven decades through his various roles as soloist, composer, Gypsy musician, concert pianist and improviser. He started out as the pianist in the NBC Symphony Orchestra, where he was employed by Arturo Toscanini. He talks to Tom about his experience of working with Toscanini, and his acquaintance with Gershwin and Rachmaninov. Revered in his lifetime as a supremely talented concert pianist and as a pioneering recording artist, Rachmaninov's composing formed a more complex dimension to his life. In his new Rachmaninov biography, Max Harrison addresses the way in which Rachmaninov's compositions reflected the tensions of his age, placing him both in a Romantic and Modernist tradition. Harrison explains to Tom why his book focuses on Rachmaninov as studio artist. The pianist Stephen Hough and musicologist Marina Frolova-Walker join Tom to review Harrison's biography and discuss the future reception of Rachmaninov's music.
