This CD is dedicated to my respected teacher Conrad Hansen who sometimes stimulated internalisation of processes by saying: “Do inclinate”.
Another dedication to my friend Anders Tinsbo whose sculpture “Tulip” I like very much, according to the round shape another sculpture is used for a later cover.
The Haydn piano concerto was recorded in 1994 in the Friedrich-ebert-Halle in Hamburg-Harburg which is famous for itss perfect acoustics.

Classical and romantic piano solo music played by acclaimed concert pianist Wolfgang Ellenberger on a Bösendorfer 275 SE concert grand piano. Most modern technology: live recording with Bösendorfer SE computer piano – editing – sound recording without disturbing noises. The German conductor and concert pianist Wolfgang Ellenberger has passed a triple study in Hamburg/Germany of piano (diploma and concert exam), music therapy and medicine (full medical degree) before working as a free lance pianist. His “trade mark” was to have a Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand piano as “hand luggage” with him (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Jtcv20jfc ) handling 290 cm/630 kg. After his comeback to medicine in the year 2000 he founded the web site www.DoctorsDome.center from which the European Doctors Orchestra raised in 2004. After the foundation of the World Doctors Orchestra 2008 in Berlin (by Prof. Willich) Ellenberger founded an entire opera company PDO – Philharmonic Doctors Opera first time in history in 2010 and performed Mozart´s Magic Flute in the Wilhelma Theatre in Stuttgart/Germany.
