This might be the clearest playing of this piece I've heard ever, or at least in a long time

Chopin Waltz in E minor, B.56

S. Rachmaninov - V. Gryaznov. Italian Polka

Listen out for the unmistakeable Latin rhythms in this song without words, which is actually in a sonata form piece; the codetta is suggestive of Bernstein and West Side Story and brings set 4 of my Songs without Words to a quiet, restful close

SWW set 4 no 6

Jason Derulo   Whatcha Say lovely piano

Ballet/Classical/Dance/Symphony Orchestra



SAINT-SAËNS: Aquarium from "Carnival of The Animals"

The Chopin Fantaisie-Impromptu is one of those iconic pieces of the classical piano repertoire. It is arguably played too much so why have I added my performance? I think the infinite ways a piece can change in the hands of different musicians is actually very interesting. My version is fast but lyrical and I search for an unexaggerated and natural romanticism and warmth.

Made this recording June 5th, 2012. Enjoy this beautiful romantic character piece by Chopin. 

Frederic Chopin - Etude in Ab Major, "Aeolian Harp", Op. 25 No. 1

Franz Liszt-Liebestraum No. 3 in A-Flat Major

I produced this track using midi and EW Gold Pianos in order to perfection the performance as I imagine it.

Franz Liszt - Liebestraum - Love Dream

Chopin - Etude Op. 25, No. 11, Winter Wind

According to legend, "Death" appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death calls forth the dead from their graves to dance their dance of death for him while he plays his fiddle.

Danse Macabre, op. 40, Saint-Saens

Inspired by fantasy, Italian operatic drama and sentimentality, Viacheslav Dalecourt’s style of composing and piano playing can be described as flamboyant, dramatic and sentimental. The sound he creates can be described as an imperious sweep with aristocratic poise and sensitivity.

Sasha is a man of eclectic interests and tastes. As a musician, there is a direct correlation between his eclectic tastes and his intention to work with different styles of music ranging from Classical, Jazz and Latin to Belcanto Opera and Chinese tradition vocal music. “Through my travels, I’ve been exposed and influenced by so many kinds of music and have experimented with all but I think I have settled on musical styles that are vibrant, dramatic and full of historical significance,” Sasha says, “My repertoire has evolved and expanded but I am still deeply connected to the Western Classical tradition.”

Sasha’s passion and aptitude for music was apparent at an early age but he also encountered the strange imbalance between his inner world of passion and restricted life experience: “I was a child, I knew so much, I felt so many emotions, but I had never made their acquaintance! I felt the tragedy in life, I felt abandon, exuberance, exaltation, but had not met these feelings in the outer world.” Sasha, speaking with the wisdom of hindsight, saw this emotional precociousness almost as a limitation of his early musical experiences. His development as an artist meant connecting these intuited emotions with real-life experiences, a difficult process of catching up with oneself in adolescence.

Whilst in his teens he studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and once graduated embarked on a long trip abroad which is still continuing ever since. “Being a gypsy at heart I’ve found it hard to settle in one place for long and new experiences always beckons me to travel again.” His many travels has led him to discover so many world cultures and he enjoys immersing himself in its tradition, history, languages, art and of course its music.
