Hera Hyesang Park Breathe

Heras second album for Deutsche Grammophon is the deeply personal result of an existential confrontation of Hera's with the foundation of her being, resulting in her determination to embrace life: "As I contemplated death, I found my soul infused with the magnificence of life. A profound sense of gratitude began to fill my soul." Presenting operatic favourites by Massenet ("Meditation"), Delibes ("Flower Duet" w/ Emily D'Angelo), Humperdinck ("Abends wenn ich schlafen geh") side by side with contemporary works by Luke Howard, Cecilia Livingston, Hyowon Woo and Bernat Vivancos. A spectacular under water shot music video for "While you live" will accompany the album release.

Hera Hyesang Park releases her second Deutsche Grammophon album, that focuses on spiritual, meditative arias and songs. Breathe reflects the soprano’s determination to embrace life, let go of grief and approach every day with gratitude. This personal approach led to a choice of music containing classics by Rossini, Verdi, Massenet and more, besides recent works by contemporary composers.
