"The Dream" by Nimrod Borenstein

 

was premiered by Roberto Prosseda on the 14th of November 2016 at Athens's Megaron, Greece. "I had the privilege to premiere two works by Nimrod Borenstein. Both of them are fascinating and show Borenstein’s unique blend of rhythmical complexity with a very original use of tonal harmony. His music is simple and very complex at the same time. It takes life 'between the notes’, and the thematic development often consists in an uprise from the simple to the complex, where the complex reflects the process of immersing ourselves in the deepest part of the music. Borenstein’s language is also very clear and structured. Each of his indications in the score have a clear reason and are always functional to his expressive ideas. His piano writing is always idiomatic and ergonomic. Borenstein’s music brings great pleasure and enrichment both to the performers and the listeners."
