@Estuddian - Liszt transposed the Gounod orchestra score for piano.

@1Thompsonmusic Everyone and their mother plays his worst pieces, and they play them while missing the point, too.

Why does everyone play this Liszt crap? I've had enough of it. It's empty.

Baldwin, actually. He was a Baldwin artist for many years.

You guys do realize he was about 75 when this was taped, right? The fact that he could still do then what most others couldn't at half his age is, frankly, remarkable. Let the "missed" notes slide.

Earl Wild is still going strong at old age. Does he still perform regularly?

No, I don't think so. I believe he gave his last official recital at Carnegie Hall last November on his 90th birthday (maybe a world record? I think the next oldest was Rubinstein at 87). I heard he actually had a cardiac arrhythmia that night, but played anyway. He's had to take it easy since then. I believe he's recovered as best he can, though, and is doing well for his age. There WAS talk of a small concert last July for the IKIF, but I don't know if that actually happened.
