Breathe is a new recital CD from Korean soprano Hera Hyesang Park. It’s a generous 79 minutes of music; most of it with orchestral accompaniment. There’s one piece for soprano and cello octet and also a few numbers where she’s joined by mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo.
It’s quite varied. There are a number of pieces by modern and contemporary composers as well as some fairly familiar 19th century fare. Most of it is lyrical rather than dramatic which suits Park’s really lovely voice.
