SOUNZ Centre for NZ Music's video: ROSS HARRIS: Retenishn Mysteries

ROSS HARRIS: Retenishn (Mysteries) The five melodies of Ross Harris’s ‘Retenishn (Mysteries)’ are re-arranged from their original medium of Klezmer band for this performance from the 2019 Adam Chamber Music Festival by Helene Pohl (violin) and Jian Liu (piano). Of his perhaps unexpected side hustle into the world of Klezmer music Ross writes, “Writing Klezmer tunes is not something I ever expected to do as part of my composing life but they have become a lovely and intriguing challenge, and fun to play intermingled with traditional Klezmer tunes. In these arrangements the violin has the original melody and the piano part is newly composed.” Audio recorded by RNZ Concert. Film funded by NZ On Air.
