This album marks the first comprehensive recording of Isang Yun's complete works for solo violin and duo with piano, performed with profound insight by Yezu Woo. Yun's compositions are a unique synthesis of Eastern and Western musical traditions, filled with spiritual and cultural depth. The project was inspired by Woo's admiration for Yun's genius and her personal journey to explore her Korean heritage. In collaboration with Tomoki Park and with the support of the Isang Yun International Society, Woo delivers an impressive interpretation enriched by thoughtful study and her own cultural experiences.
