4.0 out of 5 stars Not as Wild as I could be, Jun 21 2008

By Christopher Kosloske "crkkos" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Chopin Ballades & Scherzos (Audio CD)

Earl Wild is one of the best American pianists, and his Chopin is just as well. All the ballades and scherzos are finely played, but this album is by no means the definitive set of Chopin's Ballades and Scherzi. As an Earl Wild fan I prefer his Chopin Cd of complete Etudes, and if you are new to Wild I highly recommend the Virtuosity of Earl Wild album. If you love Wild and his Chopin, this cd is the next step for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review, Sep 27 2009

This review is from: Chopin Ballades & Scherzos (Audio CD)

I am not a music expert. In comparison with a Vladimir Horowitz recording of Ballade #1 that I have heard, I found the rhythm of Earl Wild's playing to be more steady and I prefer Wild's interpretation. Wild's and Daniel Pollack's recordings of Ballade #4 sound very similar to me. I find the other Ballades, #2 and #3, and Scherzos on this CD very enjoyable; recordings of Ballades 2 and 3 seem to be a little more difficult to find than 1 and 4, and I am glad that they are included on this CD.
