Nimrod Borenstein is a brilliant composer, who was a child prodigy as both a composer and performer. His often complex music is beloved by performers and audiences alike, and has been widely recorded and performed internationally. He is also a renowned conductor, and he spoke to me about his difficult decision to cut short his career as a violin soloist in order to find alternate career options as he developed his career as a composer. Vladimir Ashkenazy has been an active champion of Nimrod's music, and you'll hear the charming story of their first meeting.  Ashkenazy first conducted Borenstein's orchestral work The Big Bang and Creation of the Universe op. 52 to great acclaim, and the Chandos label released a very successful album devoted to Borenstein's music conducted by Ashkenazy featuring his Violin Concerto and orchestral works.   Nimrod shares his insights about interpreting music for performers and conductors, the development of his compositional style and his views on creativity in general. Nimrod has an infectious energy in his enthusiasm for the pursuit of beauty.  Nimrod has exceptional parents, and you'll hear how they met, and we start with Nimrod's close relationship to his father the renowned painter Alec Borenstein.  You'll be hearing excerpts from a couple of recordings, with thanks to both SOMM recordings and Naxos; links to Nimrod Borenstein's compositions and recordings below This episode is also a captioned video on YouTube, and you can read the transcript at this link as well: https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/nimrod-borenstein Nimrod Borenstein website, for his discography, compositions and current projects: https://www.nimrod-borenstein.com/recordings To support this series, please either buy me a coffee or shop at my merchandise store Newsletter sign-up Catalog of Episodes Timestamps: (00:00) Intro (03:27) father Alec Borenstein, sharing ideas about great art and creativity (10:44) Un moment de sérénité Shirim, op. 94, no. 5  performed by pianist Clélia Iruzun with thanks to SOMM recordings (13:24) the importance of contrast (15:06) importance of dynamics, notation, interpretation (18:04) evolution of Nimrod's compositions,  decision to give up career as a violin soloist  (22:37)Concertos (24:51) piano Etudes (30:11) Tango Etude. op. 66 No. 3 on the Naxos label with pianist Tra Nguyen (32:32) piano Etudes, first symphony (35:24) Chopin performed very little, Nimrod's decision to prioritize composition (36:41)decision to conduct (43:47) excerpt from the 3rd movement of the Borenstein Concerto for Piano and Orchestra op. 91, performed by Clélia Iruzun and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Nimrod Borenstein conductor (47:11) conducting, composition and interpretation (55:35)past episodes you may enjoy, different ways to support this series (56:20) English Chamber Orchestra 2025 collaboration Shakespeare Songs (57:16)how Vladimir Ashkenazy became a champion of Nimrod's compositions (01:06:38) evolution of Nimrod's compositional style, use of polyrhythms, finding his voice (01:24:09) excerpt from the 2nd movement of the Borenstein Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, op. 91, performed by Clélia Iruzun and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with Nimrod conducting.

This week I'm highlighting an episode from the archive, with the brilliant multi-talented  Diane Nalini who is an incredibly nuanced jazz singer, and composer. She performs in 4 languages and teaches jazz ukulele as well. I hope you'll join me in my fascination with the incredible range of Diane's interests and expertise. Besides being a phenomenal musician she also is a Rhodes scholar with Phd in Applied Physics from Oxford university and presently works in environmental science policy for the Canadian government. Not only is she a great lyricist, but she has also written songs inspired by great literature including Shakespeare, in jazz, blues, gospel, folk and bossa nova styles. During this conversation, she performs some of her original songs for us.  We recorded this in early in 2022, and as I release this again in 2024, I want to remind you that we're in Season 4 of this podcast, and if you love jazz singers, you may want to check out my episodes with Kellylee Evans,Ineke Vandoorn , and Renée Yoxon, among well over 100 episodes you may have missed.

1ère invitée de la #Session Live, #1 Ana Carla Maza pour présenter l'album Bahia (Persona Editorial 2022).   Bahia est le deuxième album studio d'Ana Carla Maza. Il s'ouvre sur Habana, hommage à la capitale cubaine, où elle est née il y a 26 ans, d'un père chilien, musicien luxuriant, Carlos Maza, et d'une mère cubaine, guitariste, Mirza Sierra. "Cuba est un volcan", disait le père. "La Havane est une folie", répond la fille. Bien sûr, La Havane, c'est le Malecon, ce boulevard en façade atlantique, qui reçoit les embruns des Everglades. Pourtant, la ville se love autour d'une baie, très fermée, protégée, sûre : la Bahia, partie arrière d'une Habana Vieja humaine, portuaire, cosmopolite, parcourue des mélanges qui ont essaimé de l'Afrique au Brésil.  Voir le clip A Tomar Cafe.     Titres interprétés - Todo Ira Bien  Live RFI - A Tomar Cafe, extrait de l'album Bahia - Le Petit Français Live RFI   Ana Carla Maza, violoncelle, chant. Son : Benoît Letirant & Mathias Taylor.   Puis #Session Live #2 avec Guillaume de Chassy et Élise Caron qui présentent l'album L'âme des Poètes (Nomadmusic 2022).   Note d'intention autour de L'âme des poètes, voir le clip.   "Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps Après que les poètes ont disparu Leurs chansons courent encore dans les rues" Charles Trénet   L'art de créer de belles mélodies est un don inégalement distribué chez les musiciens. Trénet, Schubert, Evans, Misraki, Prokofiev et Frisell font partie de ceux qui, sans nul doute, ont reçu cette grâce poétique. Au-delà des styles, des époques et des lieux, leurs mélodies ont le pouvoir mystérieux de toucher nos âmes et nos cœurs. Qu'elles soient écrites pour la voix ou, sans paroles, pour tout autre instrument, ces chansons universelles sont mes viatiques pour traverser l'existence. Je souhaitais les célébrer à ma façon sur un même disque. Pour entreprendre ce voyage, Thomas Savy (clarinette) et Arnault Cuisinier (contrebasse) sont des compagnons irremplaçables. Comme moi, ils enjambent les frontières entre musique classique, jazz et chanson. Comme moi, ils révèrent la Mélodie – avec un grand M. Lorsque nous jouons ensemble, la notion de soliste est abolie au profit d'une conversation à voix égales où prévalent l'écoute, la confiance et la liberté. Au fil des années, notre trio a rencontré des voix remarquables : celles de Natalie Dessay, Laurent Naouri ou David Linx. Dernièrement, Élise Caron nous a entraînés dans son monde où se côtoient étrangeté, fantaisie et mélancolie. Pour nous, elle a convoqué les souvenirs délicieux de Danielle Darrieux, Lucienne Delyle, Suzy Delair et Yves Montand. Nous avons peu ou pas répété, nous abandonnant face aux micros au risque de l'instant présent. Nous avons souhaité cette fragilité, marchant main dans la main au-dessus du vide. Trop de préméditation eût peut-être effarouché les fantômes rêveurs qui circulaient parmi nous. L'âme des poètes est parfois délicate à apprivoiser... Guillaume de Chassy     Biographie de Guillaume de Chassy À la croisée du jazz et de la musique classique, le pianiste et compositeur Guillaume de Chassy a créé un univers poétique et singulier. Il est considéré comme un artiste majeur de la scène musicale française. Mélodiste et coloriste, son style privilégie la sobriété dans une esthétique sonore raffinée. Guillaume de Chassy a collaboré avec des personnalités du jazz américain et européen, comme Paul Motian, Andy Sheppard, Mark Murphy, Paolo Fresu, André Minvielle, Élise Caron, David Linx, Daniel Yvinec… Guillaume de Chassy se produit dans le monde entier au gré de ses multiples projets, du piano solo à la forme symphonique. Régulièrement saluée par la presse, sa discographie est le reflet d'une personnalité qui échappe aux classifications et d'une créativité sans cesse en éveil. Curieux de toute forme artistique, il s'investit également dans des créations alliant texte, images et musique, notamment avec les comédiennes Kristin Scott Thomas (avec laquelle il a enregistré l'album Shakespeare Songs), Vanessa Redgrave et Katja Riemann.     Biographie d'Élise Caron Élise étudie l'art dramatique, le chant et la flûte traversière au Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Rouen, puis le chant au Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris. Soliste et improvisatrice à l'Orchestre national de jazz, elle collabore également à de nombreuses créations de grands noms de la musique contemporaine, du jazz et de la chanson. Au théâtre, elle interprète Shakespeare, Sophocle, Ramuz, Brecht... Sous la direction Jérôme Savary (pour La Périchole d'Offenbach), Jean-Louis Martinelli (pour L'Opéra de quat'sous et Le Brave Soldat Švejk). Plus récemment, elle a été dirigée par David Lescot pour La Chose commune – concert-spectacle sur la Commune de Paris. Au cinéma, elle a joué le premier rôle de Cocktail Molotov sous la direction de Diane Kurys et tourné avec Jean-Paul Civeyrac, Franck Guérin, Stan Neumann, Xavier Giannoli et Leos Carax. Elle a également participé à No Land's Song – documentaire d'Ayat et Sarah Najafi sur le combat contre l'interdiction faite aux femmes de chanter devant un public mixte en Iran. Auteure-compositrice, Élise Caron chante ses chansons depuis plus de vingt ans et enregistre sous son nom.   Titres interprétés - À l'Étang Live RFI - Danse Avec moi, extrait de l'album L'Âme des Poètes - Adieu Chérie Live RFI   Musiciens - Élise Caron, chant - Guillaume de Chassy, piano   Son : Benoît Letirant & Mathias Taylor.

“The fraud of men was ever so / Since summer first was leafy” — Balthasar’s song, Much Ado About Nothing In episode six, we look at that vexing question of whether or not Will Shakespeare was a complete and utter conman. We’ll follow those who dug up rivers, cracked codes, turned to grave-robbing, or occasionally just wrote really, really long books to find the answer. We’ll hear from Mark Twain, Sigmund Freud, William Wordsworth, and learn some surprising theories as to why Queen Elizabeth I was the Virgin Queen (or was she…?). It’s a journey from the 1560s to our era and back again, and somehow I manage to bring up Golden Girls, England’s greatest treasure hunt, George W. Bush and Dame Agatha Christie! Confused? You still will be after listening, but I hope you’ll enjoy this incredibly long investigation of the madness that is the authorship question. You can find me on Facebook, Twitter, or by email at podcastshakespeare@gmail.com. You can listen to the podcast at iTunes or download direct from Libsyn. We also have a Spotify playlist, which will be updated each week as we work through the plays. The website for the podcast is https://podcastshakespeare.com/.
