One of our very best interpreters of Gershwin’s symphonic piano works.

One of the few pianists who recorded Medtner before his music was “rediscovered”.

I have a few LPs (that would be vinyl records for the younger generation) of his recordings. Very nice. Thank you and RIP, Mr. Wild.

Wild's 1960 performance of
An American In Paris and
Rhapsody In Blue with the Boston Pops under Fiedler, RCA LSC-2367, is a triple-header: a great recording of a great performance of great music. Anyone who loves Wild, Fiedler, Gershwin, or simply appreciates a virtuoso at his piano, should seek out the LP (the CD is fairly listenable, but misses so much of the musical communication evident on the LP played back on a decent stereo). I'll be playing it later this evening, my own tribute of remembrance to the talent of Earl Wild.
RIP.
