Nadja Gabriela Plein

‘Plein is a highly talented composer. dew (encloaking wild herbs) for piano and electroacoustics, by Nadja Gabriela Plein, gave new meaning and import to the practice of playing alongside an electroacoustic track. The technically brilliant piano part wound round the electroacoustics, and vice versa, ethereally playing with tonal and pitch-based similarities and differences, developing and exploring the multitude of musical possibilities that this approach opens up. The composition of a piece that is intelligently constructed, technically masterful, musically formed and still an acoustic pleasure is all too rare, and ‘dew’ stood out as having all these properties in abundance.’
