2 Revolutionary. Wagner, the magician, has made the orchestra disappear. (Georg Solti) However, this 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 Never before has there been a Ring like this. See, he smiles in the shining light. Wilfried Ehrenholz and Jan Geschke, Hamburg, Producers
3 Perfectly single and simple. In the Nibelung s Ring we find an enormous range of emotions, from the deepest sorrow, pain and despair to joy, wonder and elevated pride, from fear and anxiety to self-confidence and firmness, from arrogance to heroism, from hate and rage to rapture and ecstasy, from betrayal, treachery and falseness to compassion, tenderness, love and total self-sacrifice. Its dramatic moments lie quite outside the consciousness of people whose joys and sorrows are all domestic and personal, and whose religions and political ideas are purely conventional and superstitious. To them it is a struggle between half a dozen fairytale personages for a ring, involving hours of scolding and cheating, and one long scene in a dark gruesome mine, with gloomy, ugly music, and not a glimpse of a handsome young man or pretty woman. Only those of wider consciousness can follow it breathlessly, seeing in it the whole tragedy of human history and the whole horror of the dilemmas from which the world is shrinking today. Now to be devoted to Wagner merely as a dog is devoted to his master, sharing a few elementary ideas, appetites and emotions with him, and, for the rest, reverencing his superiority without understanding it, is no true Wagnerism. The Ring music is perfectly single and simple. It is the adept musician of the old school who has everything to unlearn. George Bernard Shaw, Ayot St. Lawrence, 1898
4 Occupy Wagner. See there, there stream the legions from the factories; they ve made and fashioned lordly stuffs, themselves and children, they are naked, frozen, hungry; for not to them belongs the fruit of all their labour, but to the rich and mighty one who calls men and the earth his own. Annulled be the fancy that makes man bond-slave to his handiwork, to property. Man s highest good is his fashioning force, the fount whence springs all happiness forever; and not in the created. (..) I will destroy this order of things, that cuts enjoyment off from labour, makes labour a load, enjoyment a vice, makes one man wretched through want, another through overflow... Richard Wagner, co-editor of The Revolution, April 8, 1849, Dresden On May 9, Wagner was forced to flee Dresden, together with the Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin, among others. In Chemnitz, Bakunin and two of Wagner s fugitive friends were taken prison while they slept; Wagner escaped to Weimar. Along with others, Bakunin was condemned to death, but was pardoned and spent years in imprisonment. Wagner remained in exile for 12 years, during which time he worked on the RING.
5 Apocalypse, now. The Rhinegold 1 Prelude 2 1. Scene (Alberich, Rhinemaidens) The gold lies on the riverbed. The Rhine maidens tease each other, a symbol of peace and the riches of nature. The dwarf Alberich looks on greedily. The maidens make fun of him until he seizes an opportunity to steal the gold. ACT I 6 I. Curtain, prelude (thunderstorm) 7 The Valkyrie 3. Scene (Siegmund and Sieglinde) Siegmund is pursued through the forest in the thunderstorm. He takes shelter in Hunding s house. He feels a deep attraction to Hunding s wife Sieglinde. When they realise they are brother and sister, they burn with mutual love. Siegfried is conceived Scene (Gods and giants) The giants demand in vain that Wotan pay them for building the castle for the gods. Wotan plans to steal Alberich s gold to pay the giants. Loge philosophises about love and power. Fricka, Wotan s wife, despairs about his weakness, constant unfaithfulness and megalomania, despite the fact that it was she who encouraged him to build the castle. 3. Scene (Nibelheim) In Nibelheim, the dwarves slave under Alberich s whip. With Loge s help, Wotan steals the treasure. He uses it to pay the giants, and his kidnapped daughter Freia is free. 4. Scene (The gods move into Valhalla) In apparent peace, the gods move proudly into the sumptuous castle. ACT II 8 9 Curtain, prelude The prelude depicts the pair s desperation in view of the imminent duel with Hunding, in which Brünnhilde helps Siegmund, against Wotan s orders. 4. Scene (death announcement) Death announcement. Brünnhilde to Siegmund: Whoever looks on me bids farewell to the flame of life. Wotan steps in and, at Fricka s request, helps Hunding to victory. ACT III 10 Curtain, prelude (The Valkyries) The Valkyries ride furiously. They transport the dead heroes to Valhalla. In extreme agitation, they learn that Wotan has condemned their sister Brünnhilde. 11 Scene (Wotan s departure. Fire magic) Wotan s departure and fire magic. In great inner turmoil, Wotan strips his favourite daughter Brünnhilde of her immortality. He encloses her in a ring of fire, until she is freed by her worthy hero.
6 Back to the source. The works of great symphonic literature were developed by their composers in the notation from a nucleus of two or three systems: piano score (2 note systems) and short score (3 to 4) contain the first structuring of the musical ideas. Here, themes and motifs are developed and their course determined. At this point, the composer already has an idea of the orchestral instrument to which he will allocate each musical component, leading to the final overall sound in the orchestration process. Even one page of a large Wagner score, which may contain up to 30 note systems, started out as just a few staves. When a director or composer familiar with the craft decides to arrange scores from great Wagnerian musical dramas for the piano, he reverses this development process: now it is about recreating the sounds with only the piano. Thus, where there might seem to be a disadvantage for the listener, because of a lack of sounds from the instruments of the orchestra, there is in fact an advantage: by reducing the sounds available to only those of the piano, the listener is able to directly hear the structure of the work and its harmonic grammar. Thanks to this deeper insight into the inner workings of the music, the next time the listener falls under its spell in the theatre, he or she will hear it with different ears. Cord Garben, Hamburg

9 Produce gold. Philosophy: to record the ensemble of two mature grand 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.

The lid of the old Steingraeber concert grand replaced the lid removed from the second grand piano.
10 Wagner, grand. At the end of the 19th century, technical advancements coupled with pressure from solo virtuosos led to increasingly full and dense piano sounds, but also to a loss of polyphony and transparency. Until now, piano construction and expectations have been marked by an either/or situation: either colour or power. This needs to be overcome. Ideally, it should be possible to reflect both sides of the music: the murder and killing, but also the love, longing and sadness. Our pianos, particularly of course the large Franz-Liszt concert grand used here, are able to reflect all the voices in the orchestra. Wagner s tonal visions were not linked to instruments: a good piano is ideally suited to realising tonal visions, even without a large orchestra. Udo Steingraeber, CEO Steingraeber Pianos, Bayreuth An obsession with reproducing great music to a higher level of authenticity as never experienced before was a primary basis for the foundation of Dynaudio over 37 years ago. However, in order to achieve this ideal, realistic recordings are needed. It was therefore a huge challenge to realise this truly extraordinary project. Composition, instruments and artists form a harmonic whole. The more consistent the technological design, the more it fades into the background, allowing the music to come to life. This principle has always lain behind Dynaudio loudspeakers, and now it also applies to the recording technology used here. The result is a Wagner in a new, higher quality audiophile dimension. Wilfried Ehrenholz, CEO Dynaudio, Skanderborg, Executive Producer
