I've binged all of your videos and I am quite saddened that this does not get the audience it deserves. Please, never give up, I really appreciate these videos as a music student and fellow music lover.

Really enjoy these educational tidbits. So fun learning more about classical music, while also exposing my 6 year old daughter to this beautiful music.

It's kind of ironic how this "heir of Wagner's legacy" composed a tone poem based on a book by Nietzsche, who had such a turbulent relationship with Wagner. Nonetheless, this is one of my favourite pieces of all time, thank you for covering it!

Same here, i love all your videos. Please do Tchaikovsky and the nutcracker or his Pathetique

Richard Strauss had already conducted Humperdinck's Advent opera Adaptation of Hansel and Gretel three years before tackling Nietzche.
