Klaus Martin Kopitz (born January 29, 1955, Stendal) is a German composer and musicologist. He became known in particular with his album Mia Brentano's Hidden Sea. 20 songs for 2 pianos. In the US, it was 2018 on the annual "Want List" of the music magazine Fanfare.[1]
His compositions are inspired from Classical music, Jazz, Pop and Minimal music, but can not be assigned to any specific style. In particular, his CD Mia Brentano's Hidden Sea was highly praised by the critics. For Dave Saemann it is "the most titillating CD I've come across in a long time". Huntley Dent calls it "unique among current and past releases".[2] Oliver Buslau stated: "An ever-surprising panorama from classical to free tonal, from jazzy to minimalist".[3]
