Piano Concerto No. 4 In G Minor, Op. 40 / Piano Concerto No. 1 In F-Sharp Minor, Op. 1 / Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini, Op. 43
Earl Wild brought fearless virtuosity to everything he played, and Rachmaninoff's concertos are among the most demanding in the repertoire. This 1990 recording pairs Wild with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Rachmaninoff's First and Fourth piano concertos overflow with Russian Romanticism—sweeping melodies, glittering passagework, emotional depth. The Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini gets nearly 21 minutes here, time enough to explore every variation of that infectious theme. Wild's technique is immaculate, but what matters is his ability to make these virtuosic display pieces feel genuinely moving. Chesky Records' recording captures both the piano's brilliance and the orchestra's full sound.
