Recitative (/ˌrɛsɪtəˈtiːv/, also known by its Italian name recitativo ([retʃitaˈtiːvo]) is a style of delivery (much used in operas, oratorios, and cantatas) in which a singer is allowed to adopt the rhythms and delivery of ordinary speech. Recitative does not repeat lines as formally composed songs do. It resembles sung ordinary speech more than a formal musical composition.

In the podcast RECITATIVO Timon talks with composers active in different areas of the musical scene in Flanders & Brussels. Each episode brings you closer to the creative minds behind the music—from their sources of inspiration to the dreams and concepts that shape their compositions. The podcast is available on Spotify & YouTube in dutch.
