Chopin: Nocturnes / Wild

Earl Wild

Earl Wild (1915-2010) was considered by many to be the last of the great Romantic pianists. + On these 1996 Chopin Nocturne recordings, Mr. Wild abandoned the usual chronological ordering in favor of mood, key and effect, wishing to provide listeners with a “link to the romantic spirit and tradition of the past”, whilst emulating the abundance of technique and unfettered imagination that characterizes the playing of history’s greatest interpreters of the set (Rachmaninoff and Paderewski, among others). + “The finest collection of complete Nocturnes ever recorded.” (Harold C. Schonberg)
