Wagner’s Universe in a Pianist’s Hands

One of the most thrilling performances offered at Cremona Musica this year was the Wagner by Liszt recital given by Filippo Tenisci – Italian pianist, born 1998 and celebrated for his refined interpretations and expressive mastery of the Romantic repertoire. After his recital we got the chance talking to Tenici about his Wagner/Liszt project. Read more

Hi, Derek, I truly do enjoy your videos -your thoughts and ideas and presentation- and thank you very much for posting these!  It makes me want to start doing something like this, too.  I hope to do some catching up with some ideas sometime soon (which means sometime in the next several months, for me  :P), and want definitely to refer to your videos!

Thanks m1469 I'm glad you're enjoying them. As I think of more things to talk about I'm sure I'll be posting more. I'd welcome you or anyone else to contribute your own videos in response, I'm finding I rather enjoy this mode of communication. In fact, come to think of it, the best advice I ever got for improvisation came in the form of verbal communication from ted (not saying my advice is necessarily the best you'll get, just saying it was really good communication from him to me). Maybe it is the best way to talk about it. Just written language may be truly inadequate.
