Earl Wild
США
Добавлен 28 сен 2020
Earl Wild was a pianist in the grand Romantic tradition. Considered by many to be the last of the great Romantic pianists, this eminent musician is known internationally as one of the last in a long line of great virtuoso pianist/composers. Often heralded as a super virtuoso and one of the Twentieth Century’s greatest pianists, Earl Wild was a legendary figure, performing throughout the world for over eight decades. Major recognition is something Mr. Wild has received numerous times in his long career. He was included in the Philips Records series entitled The Great Pianists of the 20th Century with a double-disc devoted exclusively to piano transcriptions. He has been featured in TIME Magazine on two separate occasions; the most recent was in December of 2000 honoring his eighty-fifth birthday.

Thank You!😊
Yesssss new upload 💆♀️
(13:12) One of the comments my mother made about Earl after my parents had attended one of my lessons with him and met him for the first time was "He has beautiful hands".
Interesting. I remarked the same about the Jussen brothers now popular. So many great pianists didnt really have beautiful hands. Rubinstein's were knobbly, Arrau's like sausages, Horowitz' a bit twisted, Gould's quite feminine, Cliburn's freakishly large.
A great artist who did not receive the recognition he deserved. The recording industry boycotted him.
His discography lists 37 albums. Whatever boycotting may have taken place, it was not complete.
@@michaelwinningham6166 He is a pianist for major labels such as Deutsche Gramophon, Columbia, Decca, etc. And he has deserved to record with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, conductors such as Bohm, Karajan, Abbado, etc. This is what I was referring to and I know I am right. …and recorded more than 37 albums for your information
@@luckyWaiting I don't doubt your position. Admittedly, my search into the topic was cursory, but I intentionally guarded my response for that very reason. I simply wished to point out that he was not entirely ignored. I have no reason to doubt your statement about boycotts--that wasn't my goal. My goal was to add a bit of precision to the conversation. The fact that he made over 37 recordings means that many companies recognized his abilities and did not boycott him. It is also certain that audiences were well aware of him, and he enjoyed significant successes right up to the last years of his life. I think that's a more balanced view of his situation. No offense intended, and my apologies if that's how my comments sounded.
@@michaelwinningham6166 As an interpreter of Liszt's work, he has not been equalled by many of the "sacred monsters" and that is not just my point of view. Earl - I repeat - deserved recognition of a higher order, but time will probably give it to him. Greetings and thanks for your comment.

Listen to his Rach concertos. Unreal
I’m glad I watched this great 🙏💆♀️
I asked him in Boston why he never played Gottschalk. He said he played the Banjo once and found it so vulgar that he tore up the score.
Yes…Baldwin SD10s had always served him well
One of the few pianists who did not play Steinways...is there a reason for that?
Glenn Gould loved the Chickerings of his childhood. I think he kept at least one in his apartment, but I'm not sure what he recorded on.
Baldwin offered better service for those who do not have the largest careers. Baldwin artists included Wild, Jorge Bolet, Beveridge Webster, and Leonard Shure.
Why would everyone want to play Steinway? I'd go for anything but Steinway and Japanese brands. European pianos of Bosendorfer, Bechtein or August Forster surpass Steinway in the richness of tone and timbre.
@@MrKlemps I think you're uninformed. It doesn't take a lot to just read the corresponding Wikipedia article. There we have this: «The Baldwin Piano Company<...> was once the largest US-based manufacturer of keyboard instruments and was known by the slogan, "America's Favorite Piano". <...>The company won its first major award in 1900 when its model 112 won the Grand Prix at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, becoming the first American manufactured piano to win such an award. Baldwin-manufactured pianos also won top awards at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the 1914 Anglo-American Exposition. By 1913, business had grown substantially, with Baldwin exporting to thirty-two countries in addition to having retailers throughout the United States. <...>After the war ended, Baldwin resumed selling pianos, and by 1953 the company had doubled production figures from prewar levels. In 1946, Baldwin introduced its first electronic organ (developed in 1941),which became so successful that the company changed its name to the Baldwin Piano & Organ Company. In 1961, Lucien Wulsin III became president. By 1963, the company had acquired German piano manufacturer C. Bechstein Pianofortefabrik and remained its owner until 1986. In 1959, Baldwin constructed a new piano manufacturing plant in Conway, Arkansas, originally to manufacture upright pianos: by 1973, the company had built 1,000,000 upright pianos. In 1961 Baldwin constructed a new piano factory in Greenwood, Mississippi. Subsequently production of upright pianos was moved from Cincinnati, Ohio to Greenwood.» So, by no means a small player. Their best years coincided with the peak of Wild's career.
@@gaiusflaminius4861 There's no accounting for taste, but the large majority of top pianists have used Steinway for quite a long time. I dont think they are all being bought off by Steinway. I grew up with a Baldwin, have played many pianos and adore my 1927 restored Steinway. To me, Bosendorfer is overly loud and brilliant, Yamaha too harsh. My Steinway has a round, warm bell-like tone and a wonderful action. Vive la différence.

WOW, what an inspiration. When I see (hear) pianist like him or Marta Argerich, this gives me hope about getting older. I wish us all to grow old in this way.
So fresh and vital compared to the modern rigid phrasing in the Blue. I've said numerous times and will say once more: Arts are in decline.
His age at the time of this recital was remarkable, of course, but not unheard of; Rubenstein was playing beautifully at that age. The quality of his playing is remarkable, no matter what age he was at the time.
The piano (Bosendorfer) is not the best instrument at all here! The BBC couldn't rent a Steinway or (Wild's preferred) Baldwin? There's no "gleam" in the tone which Wild typically gets, his sound is among the most beautiful of all pianists and you don't hear that in this at all.
I remember when this was first broadcast in the UK! A treasure. Wild was a truly sensational pianist, if his name was "Wildowski" he would be mentioned with Horowitz and other greats all the time. In his book he mentions that once he entered a restaurant and spied Horowitz dining with friends - he went over and Horowitz said to his companions "now HERE'S a pianist!" Horowitz was right. Great to see so many of the LSO players I remember from the 70s. THANK YOU!

My ok
He has always been one of my favorite pianists. Right from the recording of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” he recorded with Paul Whiteman in the late 40’s. Bravo!!!
He always was and is a favorite pianist and transcription composer of mine. I still have his “Rhapsody in Blue” recorded with Paul Whiteman in the late 40’s. Great pianist!!
He always had been a favorite pianist of mine, since the “Rhapsody in Blue” he recorded with Paul Whiteman. A great pianist & transcription composer. Bravo! !
This sounds like a Baldwin to me - their SD10 had a huge sound.
Yes, but ugly at this point. Sadly.
Some pleasing, elegant decoration added to the Mozart Adagio. 10:20 (At least comparing with my ASB of RSM score!)
BRAVO!
Very poetic but with many clinkers.
Remember what Beethoven said, then shut up. Not that I like this performance.
Wow, what a treasure this video is.....
The Les Jeux D'eaux is phenomenal. I haven't heard better
I had long longed to see a video of Earl Wild playing Liszt's B minor Ballade. At long last! It is here!
💐💐💐💐🌹🌹
This is the best version of Papillons I´ve seen. What a great pianist¡¡
wonderful - thanks - hope to see the second half !
I've been a fan since I bought one of his Liszt albums about 40 years ago! A brilliant pianist.

I was lucky enough to be given some time to learn with the Maestro (he was 88) and in numerous occasions to observe his playing at arm-length. His tone and pedalling is unique to him, not to mention his mastery of repretoire, especially in the romantic tradition. His is probably the only one I missed and regretted not be able to spend more time learning with.
Simply amazing. He was still a great virtuoso at 86. The Mendelssohn!
This was a wonderfully conceived program. It ran A-Z. I had not heard the Marcello adagio and it was beautiful. The rest of the pieces were favorites of mine. The playing was of course masterful. Some of the very best I've heard from him. To be at the top of your game at 86 or so is remarkable. Thank You for this wonderful remembrance.

Grazie per aver scritto il programma di questo concerto straordinario.
Какой потрясающий пианист!!!! Так захватывает и очаровывает! Это лучший Шопен из всех,,что я слышала и самый блестящий Лист. Я в восторге от концерта !Огромное Огромное спасибо за возможность услышать этого Музыканта!!!
plays remarkably, an 86 year old.
His final Notturno is (imo) among the first truly great 21st-century performances! I love the rest too, thank you very much.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
one of the greatest of all time...
It's magnificent

That Liszt Rhapsody No 2. That Cadenza!!
Terrible pianist, but great orchestra and conductor !
No need to make terrible comments! Don't watch.
@@Earl_Wildwelcome in the world of free speech, welcome in the world of youtube!
@@hectorberlioz1449 stupid comment or a troll. Ignore.
@hectorberlioz1449 I don’t know where you get off making comments like that. EW was one of the greatest pianists in history. His technique was considered on par with Liszt and Rachmaninov. In addition to being a great artist, he was a very nice man. I had the honor of meeting him. This is an outstanding performance. (Even though Bosendorfers are not my favorite brand of piano. A Baldwin would have had a much warmer tone.)
@@shawndaly2693 Wild' the NBC pianist' ....I heard him live in Rotterdam and the Hague and it was very disappointing. The reviews in Holland were not so good and he was not invited in the Concertgebouw. Wild came never back. In this film he is making some mistouchings and little mistakes , which I dont care , but were synonimous for his playing. At the time in Holland we were used to Rubinstein, Ashkenazy, Argerich ea even Horowitz came regularly. Nothing to compare I am sorry. By the way did you hear Liszt haha? Almost nobody plays a Baldwin in Europe. Steinway and Bösendorfer are the brands....
