Our Take

Veit Matthias's latest offering, "Micromania - 85 Piano Miniatures," is a delightful whirlwind of musical prowess and sheer audacity. The German composer effortlessly weaves together intricate melodies and playful rhythms in a way that is both captivating and truly unique.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where whimsy and elegance collide. Each miniature piece on the album is like a tiny gem, sparkling with its own distinct personality and charm. Matthias's virtuosity on the piano is evident throughout, as he effortlessly navigates through a dizzying array of styles and moods.

Tracks like "Piano Tornado" and "Fur Elise's Evil Twin" showcase Matthias's ability to blend classical precision with a modern sensibility, while "Jazz Hands Sonata" and "Boogie Woogie Bonanza" bring a much-needed dose of levity to the proceedings.

While some may find the sheer volume of miniatures overwhelming, there is no denying the sheer talent and creativity on display here. "Micromania" is a masterclass in musical innovation, a testament to Matthias's boundless imagination and skill.

In a world full of cookie-cutter piano albums, Veit Matthias dares to stand out from the crowd. "Micromania - 85 Piano Miniatures" is a bold and brilliant statement from a true musical maverick. Don't miss out on this extraordinary journey through sound and soul.
