00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
My art is what it is. And I'm not a philosopher, I'm not a...
2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
So everything that I've got to say is in music.
3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
For me, I'm looking for absolute beauty.
4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Beauty in the novel beauty, something that was not there before,
5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
on novelty, yes, novelty and beauty.
6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Join us for an illuminating episode featuring Nimrod Borenstein,
7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
renowned composer and conductor, whose works have captivated audiences worldwide.
8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
In this upcoming episode of the PianoPod titled,
9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Composing with Humanity, we explore his signature works,
10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
including reminiscences of childhood and 24 études,
11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
the inspiration behind his Shereem collection,
12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
and his collaborations with legendary musicians like Vladimir Ashkenazi.
13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
On piano, it's an instrument that has got both.
14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
It's got the high twinkly sounds that I like out of Another World,
15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
and peacefulness, and you can imagine where...
16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
I mean, you've got a lot of them in my music for piano,
17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
and that you find this type of sounds in Mozart.
18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
You think about the piano concertos,
19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
these things that are high on the right hand, and just like a dream.
20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,000
You also have the power on the basses, on the drama piano creates as well.
21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
My music, it seems that for me contrast is the essence of art,
22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
and the essence of life in general, and so I love the piano because of that.
23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
But when I write music, I want to write...
24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Every time that I go and I work on my piece,
25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
I want to write something that is the most beautiful that I can possibly do.
26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
And that has got no vulgarity whatsoever,
27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
that it's all that I give, all that I could to the maximum of my ability.
