His 85th Birthday recital at Carnegie Hall two months ago was one of the highlights of the season. One of the Liszt pieces he performed was on Barenboim's program the night before, and Wild outplayed him no contest. A great evening.

I don't understand why these birthday celebrations aren't recorded and issued on Ivory Classics.
This is part of the Liszt series, right? Do you know who else is playing that day? When I got tickets, I don't remember Wild being on the list (Tryon, Hamelin, etc were).

Why have I heard nothing of this????
(What does it have to do with the Walker, which I just read?)
Of course I couldn't possibly afford to go -- when the Arnold Schoenberg Choir was there last year, tickets started at $40; instead of "Friede auf Erden" at that price, I went to "three organ concertos played by four organists" instead, for $20. (One of them was the forgettable premere of a concerto for organ four hands with orchestra, and the composer didn't even seem to be there, but the others were Poulenc and Casella [the latter completely new to me], and I just found a cut-out CD of exactly that pairing -- and it's a wonderfully Germanic, unidiomatic performance of the Poulenc that's even more interesting than the usual!

Walker will be reading and 'illuminating' the presentation.

It was only $60 for all three. (And I may not be able to go to the first.)
