Secret Key Masters

Three wonderful pianists playing their own compositions and improvisations, recorded by producer Bert van der Wolf at his Galaxy Studios. Michael Gees is mostly known as an accompanist of Lieder; he has worked intensively with artists such as Christoph Prégardien and Julia Kleiter. As a soloist he mostly improvises, often starting with a single chord and developing the melodies from there. In contrast, Marion von Tilzer is very much a composer, who has previously written both chamber music and orchestral works. Fran's Ehlhart comes from the world of theatre, and as a composer is influenced by jazz, pop and classical music.
