As Marius Herea’s first and only piano teacher, I had the rare privilege to have this phenomenal child prodigy as my piano student in Romania. Our paths diverged when he was around 16 years old. Unfortunately, when Marius came to Canada from Romania, I had just moved to the US from Canada. After finally reconnecting with him 30 years later, I was not…
“Three days before the surgery, I received a message from Marius Herea. His beautiful words made my heart smile, and I felt instantly that I have met a great spirit, a great creator that is connected with the “brain of the universe”, as he calls it. The professional musician and publisher Yulia Berry described Marius Herea like this: “one…
(…) The Romanian born Marius Herea is a composer who writes within an unabashedly romantic idiom. His harmonic palette is lush and his sense of form unerring, both of which are exceedingly rare attributes to be found amongst works of composers in an age that tends to navel-gaze and deconstruct before it gains the capacity to think with clarity…
My first contact with the wonderful creations of Marius Herea was “Largo”, performed by cellist Jeffrey Solow and pianist Elise Auerbach. Listening to it, it seemed pure poetry to me … ❤ I felt the notes flow and tell a beautiful, romantic, sad story, touching the most sensitive strings in the listener’s soul … Listening to other compositions, I…
When I heard a composition by Marius Herea for the first time, I was very surprised and impressed. Surprised, because his music does not follow the contemporary musical trends and impressed, because it has its own neo-romantic style. It is really rare nowadays and brave to swim against the current. I can only congratulate him and wish that he…
Marius’ modern-romantic compositions are a much needed salve in today’s world. His Adagio Amoroso reminds me of a waterfall in nature and is perfect to listen to after a long day. Serenity and tranquility itself.I love that he is revitalizing a forgotten era of piano concertos – the dedication to write these works is truly impressive. Thank you Marius for…
Dear Marius, Compliments for your wonderful music! This doesn’t happen really often that I actually like music written by a contemporary composer THAT much… I don’t understand why composers are searching for a new dimension in music.. they will not find it here on earth. All these strange experiments with “noise”… uhh often it just hurt the ears of…
As one wise critic once said: ”If you don’t like Marius Herea’s music, you hate music in general.” ( n.b. American critic Jerry Dubins) I totally agree with that statement. His compositions are not only about serious music, setting the tone for true values of arts and universal reception. Those sounds are timeless, life-affirming, inspired with the frequences of…
Human creativity is infinite, the same are the creative resources. You know the saying: only imagination is the limit. As a proof, Marius Herea is doing very well, he has new and very original themes, that have not been composed or even sketched before. His music has the origin in Romantism. We are talking about a neo-romantic music in…
Je voudrais mettre en exergue deux aspects de ce merveilleux compositeur : son imagination fertile et son habilité à manier les subtilités de son art. Il me fait rêver à chaque nouvelle audition. Je l’adore et j’adore ce qu’il fait! Angélique Marc – Music lover from Paris, France – April 8, 2017 ( I would like to highlight two…
