John Wilson brings us a double helping of Wild's exquisite solo piano distillations following the Gershwin-Wild Virtuoso Etudes that featured on his AVIE Records debut (AV2458): 'This album gives listeners a chance to hear singing - an art form at once simple and complex - carried in a different; very deftly crafted musical vehicle; that of Earl Wild's skill as a transcriber.'
