Description
[Machine Translation] New Zealand-born composer Ross Harris ( 1945- ), who has attracted attention for his many unique works, has been teaching in the music department of the University of Victoria for 30 years, contributing to the country's musical development. His Fourth Symphony, a strong presence on this album, was commissioned by the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra and is a tribute to the famous New Zealand singer-songwriter Mahinarangi Toker ( 1955-2008 ). During her 25 years of activity, she wrote more than 600 songs, all of which have a moving expression, and Harris was highly interested in her work. Harris says the piece is a testament to his friendship with her, who died of an asthma attack three years before the piece was written (she was of Jewish and Celtic descent, and had also come out as a lesbian). Another cello concerto, inspired by the cellist Kin Leeway's playing, features a cello singing a bewitching and mysterious melody over an orchestra playing an uncertain melody. The cello sings a bewitching and mysterious melody over an orchestra that plays an uncertain melody. All parts are played without interruption, and the cello's continuous singing is absolutely mesmerizing.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese
ハリス: チェロ協奏曲・交響曲 第4番 / キン・リウェイ(チェロ)/ゲイリー・ウォーカー(指揮)/ブレット・ディーン(指揮)/オークランド・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団
ニュージーランド生まれの作曲家ロス・ハリス(1945-)は、数々のユニークな作品で注目を浴びながら、30年の長きにわたり、ヴィクトリア大学の音楽科で教鞭を執り、この国の音楽発展に貢献している人物です。このアルバムで強い存在感を放つ、彼の第4番の交響曲は、オークランド・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団の委嘱を受けて書かれたもので、ニュージーランドの名シンガーソングライターのマヒナランギ・トッカー(1955-2008)へのオマージュとなっています。彼女は25年間の活動期間において、600以上の曲を書き、そのどれもが感動的な表情を持っていて、ハリスは彼女の作品に高い関心を抱いていました。この曲が書かれる3年前に、喘息発作で世を去ってしまった彼女への友情の証だとハリスは語っています(彼女はユダヤとケルトの血をひき、またレズピアンであることもカミングアウトしていました)。もう一つのチェロ協奏曲は、チェリスト、キン・リウェイの演奏に触発され書かれた作品で、不確実なメロディを奏でるオーケストラに載って、チェロが妖艶で不可思議なメロディを歌います。全ての部分は途切れることなく奏でられ、連綿を歌うチェロの響きには陶然とするばかりです。
