Pianist Joyce Yang follows her critically acclaimed AVIE debut, Collage
(AVR 2229), with the equally imaginative Wild Dreams, inspired by a musicaldream sequence. The artist interweaves dream-inspired pieces such as Earl Wild s transcription of Rachmaninov s Dreams, Hindemith s In Einer Nacht, and Schumann s Traumes Wirren with the nocturnal Night Music
by Bartók and Schumann s In der Nacht. The climax of the program is
Rachmaninov s passionate Second Piano Sonata, performed with bravado.
