Symphony Hall, Boston
A gifted pianist and harpsichordist, Wayland was the first-call keyboardist for the Boston Symphony throughout the 1960s and provided keyboards for his own performing and recording groups throughout his career. A Boston Symphony Orchestra highlight was his accompaniment of soprano Beverly Sills as the harpsichordist for the Orchestra's staged performance of the U.S. premiere of the original, 1912 version of Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal's "Ariadne Auf Naxos." It was telecast live from Symphony Hall, Boston on January 7, 1969, and released on DVD in 2006.
