Romanticism of all times

“Music that feels instantly familiar – like a story of which you want to know how it ends. That is how it felt listening to piano music by Titus Tielens, performed by Mattias Spee.”

Dutch composer Titus Tielens is not a traditionally schooled composer, but educated in Physics. Still, he has enjoyed since childhood a love for Schubert and French chansons. This one can feel in his music. One senses a strong link to romanticism, as well as passion and drama. His music sounds tonal, harmonic and rich. As if the composer wants to share experiences with the listener. Pianistically completely satisfying. As a self-made musician very convincing in what he wants to convey. Mattias Spee, himself also a composer, ensures for a maximum interpretation of the pieces. The recordings have been properly guided thanks to the professional ear of Erik de Goederen.

Tielens adopts a narrative style in his music. He describes the pieces as flowers, allowing the listener to fly from one to the other, and experience their taste and color. This is also how he let the musical ideas flow to him. Stories that write themselves, sounding spontaneous. Sill, one feels the urge to bring them out, thanks to the dynamic playing of the pianist.
