Blending live recital recordings with studio sessions, it stands as her most honest and unrestrained musical portrait to date.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Following her Korean art song album \u003cem\u003eBlooming Flower\u003c\/em\u003e, this release brings together pieces she has long cherished — songs that cross eras and borders under the unifying theme of \u003cstrong\u003efreedom\u003c\/strong\u003e. The album showcases a wide musical spectrum: intimate works by female composers \u003cstrong\u003eClara Schumann\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAmy Beach\u003c\/strong\u003e; the technically brilliant \u003cem\u003eThe Gypsy and the Bird\u003c\/em\u003e by Julius Benedict; deeply lyrical art songs by \u003cstrong\u003eDvořák\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eFauré\u003c\/strong\u003e; and beloved folk songs such as \u003cem\u003eDanny Boy\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eShenandoah\u003c\/em\u003e. Through this breadth, Lee Hae-won presents a new musical identity that extends beyond the Korean art song tradition.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The album uniquely combines \u003cstrong\u003elive recordings\u003c\/strong\u003e from her recital at the IBK Corporate Bank Chamber Hall at the Seoul Arts Center with \u003cstrong\u003estudio recordings\u003c\/strong\u003e, preserving both the vivid energy of the stage and the nuanced intimacy of the studio. The 15-track album features longtime collaborator, pianist \u003cstrong\u003eMoon Jae-won\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose restrained sensitivity and thoughtful interpretation beautifully complement Lee Hae-won's crystalline voice.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Lee Hae-won is a graduate of Seoul National University College of Music and the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin. She has performed with leading ensembles including the National Opera of Korea, the National Chorus of Korea, and the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, and has appeared at international stages such as the Rossini Opera Festival in Italy.

Through this album, I wanted to convey that the emotions of love, longing, comfort, and hope — expressed across different languages — are ultimately connected as one. I hope my singing quietly stirs each listener's own memories, moments, and inner landscape.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cfooter\u003e— Lee Hae-won\u003c\/footer\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e01.
