And I believe that Nimrod is one of the great composers of our generation’ CAMDEN NEW JOURNAL, London ‘Nimrod Borenstein is a gifted young composer. His ‘Shell Adagio’ is beautifully melodic and extremely approachable. This rich work could easily become on of the staples of the modern orchestral string repertoire like the Barber Adagio.’ OXFORD TIMES ‘His music shows great depths of feeling, imagination and musicality. I am amazed at the breadth and intelligence shown in his compositions.’ PAUL PATTERSON, Manson Chair of Composition, Royal Academy of Music, London ‘For the past ten years I have edited for United Music Publishers a series of contemporary organ works featuring many distinguished composers - the quality of Borenstein’s work is amongst the best I have seen and subsequently published.’ DAVID TITTERINGTON Head of Organ Studies Royal Academy of Music, London
