“Borenstein's If You Will It, It Is No Dream – the title is a celebrated quotation from the Zionist leader (and admirer of Wagner) Theodor Herzl – is a deft, short piece of orchestral writing, attractively propulsive and outgoing... Vladimir Ashkenazy brings an urgency to everything he does, however, and he drew fine, committed playing from the Philharmonia throughout the evening."
- Martin Kettle, The Guardian
Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra have long admired and supported the works of Nimron Borenstein. This release offers up first recordings of If you will it, it is no dream and The Big Bang and Creation of the Universe, both highly melodic works with expert use of counterpoint and ostinato, beautifully interpreted by Ashkenazy and the Philharmonic.
