John Englisch played the piano for many ballet classes like Scapino Rotterdam (and formerly Amsterdam), Nova College, H.J.S. and Dance Street. This cd was recorded half in class, half outside, but in the same studio, with thanks to Valerie Valentine, Director of DanceStreet. Also John likes to thank the Englisch kids for the photo’s, recording and artwork. 

From the double cd containing 102 beautifull played tracks, you'll find the first 25 here. If you would like to receive a full copy, you can send a mail here or leave a message.

John Englisch used to play daily the classical ballet class at Scapino Ballet Rotterdam and previously Amsterdam during 23 marvellous years, engraved in the farewell watch he’s wearing since he retired. As parttimer now he accompaigns classes at Nova College Haarlem, Henny Jurriëns and last but not least DanceStreet Amsterdam where Valerie Valentine gave him the right ambiance to create this romantic double CD taking advantage of Iqbal’s experience. Other musical activities: cantor/organist, conductor of shanty choir ZILT, translator into dutch and singer of Maurice Cocagnac’s Chansons
Bibliques and author of different studies about the opera’s I DUE FOSCARI and CARMEN. 2010 his lifework will appear “The E-Variant” a profound musictheory to recover the truth about time bound functional tonality which is NOT what most physics and EVEN LESS what arithmatics pretend it to be.

Iqbal Khawaja (age 39) was born in England and studied dance locally before moving to London to study professionally. He danced in Israel and Germany before settling in the
Netherlands in Het Nationale Ballet. He retired two years ago but occasionally guests in character roles. He has been a teacher for four years and teaches permanently at Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten and Rotterdamse Dans Academie as well as freelancing at Stichting Korzo, Henny Jurriens Stichting and Dansatelier Rotterdam. Photographs and some recordings were taken in DanceStreet Amsterdam where he is about to start may ‘09.

Johannes Brahms - Hungarian Dance Nº 1 In G Minor

„Wagner, the magician, has made the orchestra disappear.“ (Georg Solti) However, this new recording goes one step further than the master, with his unusual stage design in Bayreuth. With the removal of „orchestral and vocal commotion“ (Carlos Kleiber, in the studio during the mixing of his TRISTAN recording), the listener is able to hear the very essence of the work, which suddenly has „much more of an inward effect “ (CK). Here, in the RING PIANOS PROJECT, the music is once again liberated from the effects of orchestration. „The result is uncanny, drawing you in with a seemingly magical series of harmonies and notes to produce a deeper and more intense experience“ (Klaus Hiemann, Studio Engineer for Carlos Kleiber, speaking about this recording).
Thanks to Cord Garben and Thomas Hoppe for the tour de force. Thanks to Steingraeber for the concert grands; Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner were not mistaken. Thanks to our puristic sound engineer Johannes Müller and mastering guru Christoph Stickel, on behalf of all audiophile Wagnerites. Thanks to Dynaudio for the monitors, on which only true gold glitters. And thanks to everyone who who will fall for this recording in Wagner Year 2013. Never before has there been a Ring like this.

See, he smiles in the shining light.

CD with 11 tracks (Rhinegold & The Valkyrie) will be available from January, 8th, from selected Dynaudio HiFi dealers worldwide and via Amazon. Check www.dynaudio.com

Philosophy: to record the ensemble of the two special full-size concert grand "Franz Liszt"-pianos as purely as possible with the highest quality standards and the minimum technology possible: two sphere microphones as poly-directional microphones, two wide angles as direct sound microphones for each concert grand. The grand piano microphones go directly without stopover into the pre-amplifiers/converters of the Nagra equipment for the shortest possible signal path to recording. The sphere microphones are specially pre-amplified using Sonosax PreAmp. The microphone signals are recorded on separate tracks in 96 kHz / 24 bit resolution. This means the mix chosen at the recording venue can be refined even further in mastering and made even more transparent and balanced.
