About this concert
De neoklassieke pianist en componist DeLange (Frank de Lange) wordt ook wel ‘muziekschilder’ genoemd. De unieke manier waarop hij zijn muziek benadert, is geworteld in zijn zeldzame waarnemingsvorm chromesthesie; het zien kleuren en vormen bij het horen van geluiden. “Als ik met mijn ogen dicht luister, zie ik een schilderij”, zegt de pianist in een interview in Preludium Magazine. Het effect van deze gave is hoorbaar in de kleurrijke landschappen die hij schildert met prachtige, haast mantra-achtige melodieën.

DeLange Biography
DeLange (1972) is a Dutch neo-romantic composer and pianist. As DeLange experiences music in colors and shapes (a condition called chromesthesia, or sound-to-color synesthesia), he crafts every composition like a painting .
DeLange's latest project is music for piano accompanied by a horn quartet. The first composition is called 'La Présence d'un Rêve' and was released early October.
Born and raised in a musical family, Frank DeLange soon grew familiar with the sound of the great piano composers from the romantic and early modern era. All through his childhood his parents endlessly played recordings of the works of Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Satie and Debussy and thus introduced young Frank to the world of Romanticism. DeLange completed his classical training at the conservatory and started working as a pianist writing for and accompanying other artists. The urge to capture his emotions of a life that had always been full and intense led him to work on a repertoire of his own. He had to turn 46 before he felt his evolution as a pianist, composer and as a human being was at its crowning point and he started writing, producing and recording his first album “Images”.
DeLange released his debut album in September 2020, garnering almost 17 million streams
worldwide so far. His first tour where he visited renowned concert venues throughout The Netherlands was completely sold out.
With his latest release "Ballade" DeLange announced his second album, to be released in 2022. For this new album, he chose his long lost upright piano as a perfect companion to compose his new pieces on. Using vintage microphones he got from his dad - also a musician, he captured the warm and characteristic sound of the piano. As a listener, you feel like you’re in the room with the composer. Up close and personal.
DeLange writes in his own distinctive style, best described as neo-romantic. His work is heavily melodic, somewhat mantric and mainly to be played with ‘feather touch’ -an expression he likes to use as it best describes the dynamics of his work.
