Earl piano background
Wild was an American pianist.Wild was playing the piano when he was three year old.He was playing for 90 year.In 1937, Wild was hired as a staff pianist for the NBC Symphony Orchestra. In 1939, he became the first pianist to perform a recital on U.S. television. Wild later recalled that the small studio became so hot under the bright lights that the ivory piano keys started to warp. In 1997 he was also the first pianist to stream a performance over the Internet.This recital of Earl Wild’s major piano works was recorded just five months after Wild’s death in January 2010, at the age of 94. It is an excellent celebration of four of the composer-pianist’s most significant works. It is gratifying to know that Wild’s music will live on in the hands of a pianist as gifted - and as attuned to his jazzy language..
