Abele spelen

I would like to see an article on "abele spelen" it means "Profane theater" according to one source I found in English. If anyone knows Dutch, there is an article on it at NL wikipedia that would be nice to get traslated. Goldenrowley 03:16, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can translate, but is translation enough or do you want me to read the sources and references too? I can do so, but it'll take more time for me to translate and read all of them. After translating somebody has to check my grammer, spelling and such... cause my English just isn't as good as I want it to be. Just check my userpage for the reasons :D.

Marius van Paassen made his debut in the large hall of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam with Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto in 1982. He appeared frequently as a soloist with symphony orchestras and radio orchestras in the Netherlands and abroad in the years following his debut. He played in all the major halls in the Netherlands. World Wild Life Fund carried on a campaign using his first solo album, "The animal in 20th century piano music." This was an occasion for Van Paassen to be front page news.The CD was broadcast by many radio stations. He was invited to festivals in France, Rumania and the Netherlands. He participated several times in theater productions by the Dutch composer Louis Andriessen. He stopped performing (2014) for the time being due to a medical condition in his right hand. Marius van Paassen (1952) was born in a house designed by architect Piet Elling in Utrecht (the Netherlands). His father was Chris van Paassen (wikipedia) social geographer and his mother Johanna van Rossem. He obtained the gymnasium beta diploma at the 'Utrechts stedelijk gymnasium'. He then studied in Amsterdam.

Radio recordings Marius van Paassen made many recordings for Dutch radio: Chopin, Beethoven, Ravel, Debussy, Brahms, Schumann, Dvorak, Rubinstein, Granados, Tchaikofsky, Brands Buys, Sigtenhorst Meyer, Britten, Shostakowitch, Stoppelenburg, Andriessen, Poulenc , Broere and others. Composer Marius van Paassen (1952) grew up in a musical family. At a very young age he already was interested in making his own music, which resulted in a small number of compositions for piano, the instrument he chose to master. Improvisation was a favorite pastime. He started playing his own compositions on recitals in 1988. Dutch radio recorded some of these concerts. In November 2013 the record company Attacca productions released W O N D E R his latest album, a double-CD with a CD-Rom with the sheet music. Compositions around the theme ‘wonder’. Earlier (1999) Attacca released a CD with compositions by Van Paassen, 'The Amsterdam recital', a live recording (VPRO Dutch radio 4) of a recital in Amsterdam. He performed his compositions in regular concert halls in the Netherlands like the concertgebouw, the Doelen, Diligentia and special locations like the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and Smart Project Place. Anton Rubinstein One of the projects in his professional life was the project Anton Rubinstein, which started in 1981. Van Paassen tried not only to accomplish a revaluation of the Russian composer Anton Rubinstein (1829 - 1894), but also a return to a more authentic 19th century style of playing the piano. This resulted in two CD's, radio performances and Rubinstein's piano concertos and chamber-music and solo recitals in a number of European countries (Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Rumania and Sweden, The Netherlands). In 1994, 100 years after Rubinstein's death, Van Paassen gave a master class in St Petersburg (Russia) at the conservatory founded by Rubinstein. In 1996 Van Paassen had the honour to perform parts of "Le Bal' opus 14 by Anton Rubinstein at the inauguration of the old, renovated House of Parliament. Several years his performance of Rubinstein's variations on Yankee Doodle was broadcast on FM radio in the USA on the 4th of July.
