"Klezmerising" by Eric Berman. Arranged and performed by Milana Zilnik
One of the biggest joys of being a session musician is to work on quite an eclectic range of projects. This time I got the chance to work on this wondrous piece of Eric Berman who asked me to transcribe his acoustic recording by ear, expand it to a full classical piece and then record it along with the video. I must say that the original piece didn't really require any expansion, I only did a minor rearrangement here and there to add some variations. Eric describes his own piece as a "Klezmer with a twist" (c). Being a filmmaker/composer, he wanted his first piece to sound like two fellas having a playful argument about a serious subject. Can you hear it?
Eric was kind enough to allow me putting this video on my own channel as well. You can find Eric on:

And on some other news.. I've been extremely busy with a lot of recording sessions and some exciting personal projects. For the first time ever my husband and I recorded an orchestral piece.... with a live string orchestra! 40 musicians playing my own composition - this was so emotional, I burst in tears hearing that. We will release it in September along with the original piano solo version. Stay tuned :)
