...WILD TOURED WITH, AND THEN REcorded, three synoptic all-Liszt programs, called "The Poet," "The Transcriber," "The Virtuoso" -- three apt descriptions for Wild himself. He's a throwback to the Golden Age pianists, exulting in the sensuality of Romanticism and the vertiginous, almost orchestral possibilities of the piano. Two CDs demonstrate his superb musicianship and rare virtuosity: Chopin: 4 Ballades -- 4 Scherzi and Earl Wild Plays His Transcriptions of Gershwin (Chesky Records).

But unlike CDs, you can record on both new devices, and they are very portable...
...seemed only a few months ago that the CD player seemed guaranteed to be around for a while. Today industry experts aren't so sure. "There is a fear that MiniDiscs could knock out CDs, which have become a standard," observes Michael Riggs, executive editor of Stereo Review.
