'You! Who?' is a powerful and moving work by acclaimed New Zealand composer Anthony Ritchie that sets the evocative poems of Fiona Farrell to music. It traces the entire arc of a relationship. From the magic of a first meeting through the complexities of marriage, separation, reconciliation, and the finality of death, this piece captures a complete emotional journey in song.
This 2025 piece was written specifically for the performers on this recording: mezzo-soprano Tessa Romano and pianist Terence Dennis, who bring the work to life with deep understanding and artistry.
