TILSON THOMAS Upon Further Reflection. WILD 7 Virtuoso Etudes after George Gershwin. COPLAND Piano Sonata • John Wilson (pn) • AVIE 2458 (69:12)
“What is noteworthy is that there is something welcoming and warm in Wilson’s playing even when he is showing off his virtuosity or making a bold pronouncement. Also noteworthy is how effortless he makes the Wild etudes sound (not to mention the knuckle-busting passages in the outer movements of Upon Further Reflection).”
