Dance Mediterranea is one of Palestinian-American composer and master oud-player Simon Shaheen's classic compositions. The essence of traditional Middle Eastern sounds meets with virtuosic compositional techniques in this multi-dimensional, multi-metered piece. It mixes improvisation with block ensemble writing concluding with a fiery finish.

 

Recorded 26 September 2017, Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington by RNZ Concert.

Producer: David McCaw
