“What sets Shlomo Yehuda’s music apart is that he innovates musical ‘chiddushim’ and yet maintains a totally familiar sound”
While fans have been waiting since Shir 2 came out in 2016 for the next Shir album to emerge, composer SHLOMO YEHUDA RECHNITZ has been working on it for a lot longer than you’d think. Yitzy Berry, who together with his partner, Eli Klein, arranged six of the songs on the new Shir 3, explains that there had been back-and-forth between them about some of the songs for around four years.
“The work began when Eli and I were in L.A., together with producer David Fadida, around four years ago, and continued when Shlomo Yehuda came to Eretz Yisrael, before coronavirus,” says Berry. “Recently, of course, it’s been long distance.”
