In 1931, he was invited to play at the White House by President Herbert Hoover. The next five presidents... (Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson) also invited him to play for them and Wild remains the only pianist to have played for six consecutive presidents. In 1937 Wild was hired as a staff pianist for the NBC Symphony Orchestra. In 1939, he became the first pianist to perform a recital on U.S. television. Wild later recalled that the small studio became so hot under the bright lights that the ivory piano keys started to warp. In 1997 he was the very first pianist to stream a performance over the Internet. Harold C. Schonberg called him a "super-virtuoso in the Vladimir Horowitz class".
