Joel Wizansky, piano

Recorded live in concert at Old First Concerts in San Francisco.

Here is an essay, From the Ridiculous to the Sublime, written as program notes for this concert.

"....you could not help but marvel at the keenness of his musical mind and his way of holding this gigantic structure together... The wonderfully varied textures emerged from one variation to the next with admirable clarity and definition... The riotous passage work was dispatched with enviable abandon as were most of the virtuoso variations... ...Beethoven's miracle achieved, accomplished by Wizansky so masterfully that it will remain long in the memory."
