Thank you, Ilaria! I'm going to leave it a bit until I allow myself to conduct the Berliner Philharmoniker At the moment, my most frequently visited orchestras to conduct are the London Philharmonic, San Francisco Orchestra and CBSO. I have debuts with the Royal Concertgebouw, Philharmonia and Vienna Philharmonic later in the current season.

How kind of you to programme one of my pieces in your concert with the Vienna Philharmonic! A piano transcription of Seascapes certainly would be very very interesting! Wonderful concert again!

Haha, I hope you will really be able to conduct all those orchestras one day!

My pleasure I may try to write a piano transcription of "Seascapes" in future, I like that work very much. Franz Liszt made the piano arrangements of many pieces, it would be great to do the same with one of yours.

Well, being a member of the Wiener Philharmoniker would have certainly been my dream if I had seriously devoted myself to music...and if I had chosen an orchestral instrument.

Thank you, Ilaria! I really hope so too - it is my passionate ambition!

Thank you, glad you like it! I would certainly be interested to see how Seascapes would work for piano...

What orchestral instrument would you have chosen, Ilaria? You can still start now, I'm sure you'd be great! And you could still be in the Wiener Philharmoniker, as a pianist/celesta!

Debut with the Vienna Philharmonic later in the season:

Mendelssohn A Midsummer's Night Dream Overture
Schumann Piano Concerto (Ilaria Peruzzo, piano)
interval
Schubert Symphony no.9

also, debut with the Philharmonia

I'm glad you would come see my Shostakovich concerts. The whole month of October would be dedicated to nothing but me touring around Europe conducting different orchestras in Shostakovich programs. Yes, I would come to your Philharmonia concert. Should be a good one!

Let me think.....maybe I would have chosen the violin, either the flute or the oboe since I played the recorder at the middle school; anyway thank you for the encouragement, for now I prefer to become proficient at the piano.
Haha, you're very kind, thanks so much, it would be certainly wonderful; I might be like Borodin: chemist on morning and musician at night.

Thanks for including me as pianist in your programme! Wiener Philharmoniker or not, I hope it will happen one day, playing in one of your concert would be absolutely great!
