Lorcan's Pick of the Week | March 18th

All this week on Classic Drive, Lorcan will feature music from Hera Hyesang Park's new album Breathe.

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.

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.

Tune in at 5:20 everyday this week to hear a selection from this album on Lorcan Murray's Classic Drive.
