Bax: Fantasy Sonata, for viola and harp (RCM Records)

"Some performances of this work have been rather lacklustre, but this new one stands
among the very best. The viola tone is strong and rich, and Evan Wilson plays with

Berlioz: Harold in Italy
|
|
"Wilson again exhibited the authority, technique and plush tone one has come to expect
from his exposed outings."
|
|
Daniel Cariaga, Los Angeles Times, October 19th, 1998
|
|
"Wilson's splendorous but full tone and commanding technique gave an especial
sheen to the beauties of Berlioz' "Harold in Italy."

Daniel Cariaga, Los Angeles Times, October 19th, 1998
|
|
"The 31-year old Principal Violist gave ample evidence in Berlioz' Harold in Italy
that he is every bit a present and future key to the L.A. Philharmonic... Wilson
produced waves of rich, vibrant sound, and a loving attention to phrasing and
dynamic subtlety."

Telemann Viola Concerto & Schulman "Theme and Variations"
|
|
"... Telemann's wonderful, somewhat moody Viola Concert in G Major, performed with
an admirable feel for Baroque styling by Evan Wilson... rich and honeyed tone also
gave vigorous life to the rarely heard, exceedingly virtuosic Theme and Variations
by Alan Schulman"

Chamber music with violist Yuri Bashmet
|
|
"The Russian violist joined a contingent of the Los Angeles Philharmonic's
brightest and best... in a pleaseantly varied, stunningly played program...
at the Colburn's School's Zipper Concert Hall... Bashmet and Wilson opened
the proceedings with a duo by Jean-Marie Leclair... They traced its highly
Baroque course neatly and suavely."
