“The finale is virtuosic and urgent and, like the rest, is thrillingly performed by Clélia Iruzun and the Royal Philharmonic playing under the composer’s baton.

“…Clélia Iruzun succeeds in making this fairy-tale character fascinatingly atmospheric”

“It is feel-good music of exquisite quality”

Remy Franck, Pizzicato, January 2023

“Iruzun’s delivery of the complex solo part is most persuasive, and Borenstein’s conducting brings vivid playing from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra”

“It is difficult to imagine the performance by Iruzun and I musicanti could be bettered”

“She has brought the late-romantic flourish so necessary for such a masterpiece to Borenstein’s new Concerto ~ investing this work of today with all the characteristics and flourishes associated with the ‘old masters’. ”

“Recorded at the venue of Henry Wood Hall, London, one hopes that Sir Henry’s Festival, the Proms ~ his great legacy ~ will find a half-an-hour slot for Nimrod Borenstein’s deeply-felt and exquisitely written and orchestrated concerto.”

Stuart Millson, The Quarterly Review, January 30th, 2023

“Notes fall like raindrops, dripping delicately, later torrentially, before returning to a light shower… the Adagio is bookended by flurrying outer movements, both featuring a Faustian virtuosic solo part, expertly played by the work’s dedicatee.”

Claire Jackson, BBC Music Magazine, March 22nd, 2023

​”Looking for an entertaining, melodic contemporary piano concerto? Start here. Iruzun’s playing is flamboyant in all the right ways, and Borenstein’s Royal Philharmonic sound as if they’re having fun.”

​Graham Rickson, The Arts Desk, March, 2023

“The pianist and orchestra play superbly well… It is all very exciting… This disc will be attractive for anyone interested in his music.”
