Ju Baek -Young - Jeajoon Ryu: Sons Nos. 3 (CD)

The album features a sonata written especially for Arto Noras, one of today's greatest cellists, presented as a gift for his 80th birthday. The violin sonata is likewise dedicated to it's performer-an exceptional Korean violinist held in high esteem by Krzysztof Penderecki, Ryu's mentor and artistic patron. The Korean composer's music speaks in a highly personal voice, blending echoes of Romanticism and Impressionism. Together, these two works invite listeners to savor the sheer beauty of sound and the dazzling virtuosity that define the artistry of all four performers.
