Jose Bonet is a pianist and composer with a solid artistic talent, which can be appreciated both in his live performances and in his soundtracks. The author of over forty piano works, he has known how to develop his own
style, between New Instrumental Music and the most romantic side of Classical Music, which places him as a true heir of the trends of composers headed by such people as Max Steiner, Alfred Newman or Victor Young, who tended a bridge between melodic Classicism and Cinema, building the language of symphonic soundtracks. The Classical background that Bonet has (he studied music notation and piano at the Conservatory of Valencia) gets united to his special talent to create well defined melodies with an
unusual sensitivity, a talent that has been very useful to him when composing soundtracks for TV and for infomercials. Bonet has performed his music before prominent audiences and events, as for instance, the Cycle
Mare Nostrum (2000), the City of the Arts and Sciences (2004) or the Palau de la Musica of Valencia (1999 and 2001), among others.
"Entre ayer y hoy" is an album where Bonet has given expression to his most personal ideas. The release of this CD was accompanied by a ceremony of presentation of the CD at the prestigious Palau de la Musica of Valencia,
an event that included the performance of the artist. Throughout 13 pieces, performed only with a piano, Bonet shapes an exquisite collection of melodies, rich in romanticism, with a wide emotional range going from
melancholy to festive airs. Although he is nourished with Classicist elements, the composer provides his tracks with an agile development, free from constraints, which relates to the public at once.

"Entre Ayer Y Hoy" ("Between Yesterday and Today") is Spanish pianist/composer Jose Bonet’s debut CD, released in 2001. The CD consists of thirteen original piano solos that range from bright and spritely to dark and introspective. Bonet’s music has very strong classical roots, yet his approach is contemporary and easily accessible for listeners who might not have a background in classical music. Bonet studied music notation and piano at the Conservatory in Valencia (Spain) and has composed music for television and infomercials. His approach to his music is nicely summarized in the following quote: "I must do a kind of music that is simple, and as beautiful as possible, following the maxim, `Most beauty in a minimum of notes’." Inspired by a feeling, a memory, or a story, Bonet says that he relates to the music as if the notes were words to tell a story. "It is a mirror of my soul, of my eyes, of a fragment of my life."
"Entre Ayer Y Hoy" begins with “Atrezzo barbaro,” a lively, energetic piece that starts the set with a smile. “Consecuencia” is a bit darker and more serious. The left hand keeps it in motion with rolling broken chords while the right hand plays a simple, mysterious minor key melody. “Barna” is about as joyful and carefree as it can be as it dances all over the piano with a light staccato touch - sunshine set to music! “Notas de Otono” is much more melancholy, but I really like it! I also really like “Que te iba a decir,” an animated, high-spirited piece the overflows with happiness and joy. “Pensando en ellas” is a sweet daydream set to music. Interesting rhythmic changes flow like one thought to the another while in a relaxed state - a fascinating study! “Impresionismo” stays very fluid and seems to follow its own muse. There are no hard edges or defining guidelines, much like an Impressionist painting. The title track closes the set with a reflective and gracefully flowing piece that is just a little sad.
The music on "Entre Ayer Y Hoy" expresses a wide range of moods and experiences, making it fascinating both musically and emotionally. Jose Bonet is currently composing the music for his third release, and I can’t wait to hear it! Recommended!
