  • @djriskyp Don't try to claim affinity to this. I'm sure the music of "your people" is FAR removed from the music of 160 years ago and you know as little about it as I or the next person.

  • @tnmtemerity Yes. It will confirm their thoughts.

  • Virtuosismo spinto ai limiti, lirismo suadente nelle melodie, la tecnica strepitosa del leggendario Earl Wild, nonostante fosse costretto a ... "dialogare" con una orchestra disastrosa !!! Anche il filmato è di pessima qualità !! L'unico vero piacere è osservare il pianista che fa cose incredibili sulla tastiera, nonstante i suoi 74 anni, all'epoca della registrazione !!! Come saranno Lang Lang, Valentina Lisitsa, Evgeny Kissin, Yund Li, dopo i 70 anni ???

  • Thanks for sharing !!!

  • Note to richclayderman:

    Yes I have, m8...

    But you know the anecdote about ya always remember yer 1st time?

    "Fantasy" as done by Wild, Stanger, & RPO was the VERY FIRST classical piece I heard as a kid (6 years old or so) and THAT *ONE* version STILL leaves an impression on me. I've heard at least 4 others, but THAT was & still is The Bee's Knees fer ME!

    'Nuff Said!

  • @BadNews88 all time? really? have you listened to Totentanz? (also by liszt)

  • Conductor is full of himself. But he is so unmusical. Just square marching band conductor. His musical thinking is unfortunately devoid of musicality.

    Mr Wild is a terrific musician and he does a superb job even under adverse conditions.

  • Does Mr. Wild prefer Baldwins?

  • This is my ALL-TIME favourite Classical piece. As a kid I had the original 1963 recording with Earl Wild as pianist & Russell Stanger conducting the Royal Philarmonic.

    Good to see that he's not lost his chops. (Smile)

    Thanx fer this, m8..

  • I think it's the orchestra that's not Hungarian enough from the very beginning. The winds phrase their melody after the doublebass at the beginning as it is written, meaning in a romantic way instead of a Hungarian way.
