My varied career as a composer, concert pianist, and conductor has proved to be a most exciting and rewarding one.
I believe my series "Opera-For-Piano" to be one of my most creative and lasting musical experiences. These are NOT transcriptions. Rather, it is music in various forms based on a variety of operas as if their composers had written it as piano music.
The music presented in this video contains two portraits from "Musical Portraits from Wagner's RING" cycle, featured on my recent CD, which relates to 2013 -- the 200th anniversary of his birth. This CD also includes "Fantasie Variations on TRISTAN und ISOLDE" and "A REINZI RHAPSODY".
For information regarding other music in my "Opera-For-Piano" series, please see my website.
