John Wilson, "Fantasy on Porgy and Bess" Wild/Gerswhin PT2

[albertlwj]

enjoyed your performance of this work immensely...excellent blend of virtuosity and cheesy sentimentality which gershwin is so fond of :D

I too say a great performance. Understandably, it is a long work (30 minutes), and I like the way Earl Wild put it together so that if one needs to make an "abridged" version of it (like I am currently!) it can work out beautifully! But I must say I also deduct 5 points for not including "O Lawd I'm On My Way", which finishes this work as well as the opera. And I love how Wild gave us two different endings to choose. I do give 100% to those of us who have the CHUTZPAH to play this work!!

Amazing! I enjoyed every moment of your performance, from start to finish!

Excellent stuff, Mr. Wilson. I deducted .05 points for the confusing exit stage left.. no stage right, dude. Best wishes, greasyjazzman.

Thanks! Haha, yeah I thought there was another set of stairs on the right - I guess they didn't think of that part in the 1300's.
