From the notes: Earl Wild began performing on the radio in his home town of Pittsburgh in the late 1920's at the age of 12. He worked at Pittsburgh's KDKA radio station on and off for the next eight years until he went to New York City to work at the famous NBC radio network in Rockefeller Center. From 1937 to 1946 Earl Wild performed countless times on the radio, at NBC. There were many scheduled solo piano music periods on the radio at that time in which Mr. Wild would perform selections of his choice. Many of these wonderful old live radio broadcast performances have been lost but fortunately a few still remain on old 16" transcription acetates." by Christopher Weiss

By early 1975, the flame was quickly fading out for the Ritchie Blackmore era of Deep Purple. Discontent with the overtly funk-based direction the group had recently embraced on such releases as Burn and Stormbringer, Blackmore's focus had shifted to launching a solo career. But the "Mark III" lineup of Purple certainly went out with a bang, as evidenced by the release of their last ever show together, Live in Paris 1975…

A fascinating compilation detailing the highly expressive music of Prince, composer and murderer Carlo Gesualdo - one of history's most colorful figures.

Featuring Quintetto Vocale Italiano's pioneering performance of the works, this release movingly traces the development of a composer whose intensely expressive music was centuries ahead of its time.
