J’ai découvert la musique de Marius Herea par le biais d’ une personne qui m’a fait écouter le Largo. A la première écoute de cette pièce, j’ai tout de suite dis à propos de celle-ci que si c’ était une pièce de musique pop, cela serait numéro UN du “Hits Parade”. Cette pièce est représentative à mon avis du…
His neo-romantic language is a true revelation in this age dominated by atonalism, serialism and spectralism. It consists of reminiscences from Mozart, Chopin, Brahms, Wagner, Bruckner, going up to the late-romantic chromatic palettes implemented by Sibelius, Elgar, Debussy and Rachmaninoff. All these are marked by innovative elements which give a powerful force to his musical style. Ionuț Bulimej (…
I first met Marius at a photocopy center in Montreal, about 2010. He was photocopying music, so I asked him whose music it was and he replied with his amazing smile: “My own music. I’m a neoromantic composer!” It was like a retrouvailles of Chopin & Liszt as I was very much “into Liszt” at that moment and we…
Many say that music is a “medicine” for the soul. It surely is as long as we accept to let ourselves led by its magic. This magic is not a charm brought along by sorcery from surreal dimensions, instead is a seed of true self we need to awaken in order to become what we are supposed to be….

When I hear the music of Marius Herea, I feel immediately connected to another dimension, like he does when composing. He is able to transform this experience into music, a sound of beauty, bliss and magic. Dagmar Krug, German Pianist & Composer http://www.dagmar-krug.de/
“A few words…” by Lorena Eckell To premiere the Concerto for Piano & Orchestra in E minor by Marius Herea on February 5-th, 2009 in Ploiesti, Romania was one of the most wonderful and flattering experiences that my career has brought me.

“His music is very complex, refined and subtle. Every phrase brings novelty and there are sudden changes of mood which I never encountered before at such level. Besides, it is very demanding. It requires high technique from the pianist and also the ability to deepen into the music and reveal the messages from behind the notes. It is a…
