Wonderful. Really love your "Live Full Opera Piano transcription" videos (Suor Angelica, Götterdämmerung, etc.). Can't wait for Elektra, Rheingold+Walküre+Siegfried, FrOSch, etc.
Thank you. Certainly more Wagner is on the cards, and I love conducting Strauss, but getting all the sounds of the orchestra into the piano is certainly a challenge. Nevertheless I’m sure I will get around to Elektra, Salome and maybe Frosch at some point. It helps me learn the music inside and out by playing them.
So glad that it was helpful. Hope your rehearsals are going well. I loved conducting Jenufa - though I've never actually played the score, it's one I could eventually get to - unless someone commissions it specifically....
I would love to, although that is a major undertaking. I don't suppose you would be willing to commission such an accompaniment, since I would have to learn it before recording?
@@MatthewToogood Thank you for the suggestion - much appreciated. While I wouldn’t commission such a project, I am certainly not the only one who’d be happy to see it come to life.
@@alexanderrostel2167 well I certainly have the score - but it will probably take me a while to get to it. A big work, and possibly less in demand... unless someone asks me to conduct it - then it would make sense for me to record playing it.
God bless you!!!
Thank you 😊
Bravo!
🙏 Grazie 😊
Superb! Well done for making it sound so good!
It helps that Ariadne actually has a piano in the orchestra, so the sound is closer to the original in some sections.
Wonderful!!!! More!!!
More to come!

This is superb!
Thank you kindly. Enjoy watching and listening.
Thank you for this!!
Thanks! Hope you three are well. Come and see me conducting it if you're in town beginning of September.
Wow! Masterfully played! 🥰
Couldn’t help but think of all those auditions tapes of Componist Aria while playing it myself.
Wow! What a feat!
It certainly felt like it - it was extremely humid and by the end I could barely see properly.
Wonderful that this popped up in my recommended. My rehearsals start for this in a month. Can I make a request for Jenufa next? Haha.

@@MatthewToogood how much?
Best to send me an email to matthewtoogood.conductor@gmail.com to discuss - since it would be a big recording, and under copyright still
sublime, keep up!
Thank you. Having recorded the entire accompaniment made conducting the full production so much more fulfilling.
I already submit a gentle request for a similar video for Die Frau ohne Schatten, of which no piano transcription seems to exist.

Die Frau ohne schatten, Please! Even just Act3.
I would love to - it may take me some time to get to it though... Unless someone commissions it, of course.
