He was AMAZING to watch in person and I feel blessed that I had the opportunity. He was effortless and his encore of Chopin's C#minor waltz, as he played the final ascending phrase, was as if he was sending a love letter to GOD. His hand just floated off of the keys and left you breathless. It's a moment I'll never forget. Thank you Frank Bell and The Virtuoso Pianist series for bringing Mr. Wild to Atlanta!!

What a wonderful American pianist! You should listen to him play his version of Fascinatin Rhythm. Awesome. Not my favourite recording of Un Sospiro - I wouldn't want to take anything away from Earl. RIP

@bayreuthstinkt There's definitely something "Wild" about this playing.

is he wearing a helmet?

@ntherewas1 I apologize for that. I had no idea that sometimes messages don't show up right away, and I kept thinking I hadn't sent it. It was important for me, for emotional release, to share, so I kept trying, on multiple "Un Sospiro" videos. Then when I went back I saw it WAS there, multiple times. How embarrassing! Fortunately for me people understood and it has been "liked" 95 times on the original video I tried to post on. I'm sorry if I annoyed you, it wasn't my intent.

@StormSong8 you've repeated this sooo many times...so glad you didn't get top rated comment this time you attention seeking freak

Funny you noticed the cross-over of the hands as I noticed that to having learned it.We would notice but most of Joe Public would never have noticed that.
It is easier to play it without the fancy showy bit that dear old Liszt would have played.
Best Wishes

We had a piano growing up and none of us knew how to play it, but my grandmother used to try. She got a Liszt album from the Salvation Army and used to try to play one song she particularly loved. She died still unable to play it. I've spent years hunting for that song but could never find it because I didn't know the name. Until today. I have a keyboard and I'll pick up where she left off. I don't know piano, but I'll play through the tears to hear the beauty she heard. I love you Grandma.
