Sunrise Falling: Isang Yun - Matt Haimovitz, Yumi Hwang-Williams, Maki Namekawa, Dennis Russell Davies, Bruckner Orchester Linz
Uncompromising in his life as he was in his music, Korean composer Isang Yun (1917–95) held fast to his dream of a united Korea, even as he was unjustly accused of espionage for North Korea and sentenced to imprisonment and death. From a life of unimaginable oppression and torture emerges music of raw emotional power, as heard on this centennial commemoration of Yun’s life and music from Dennis Russell Davies, the Bruckner Orchester Linz and soloists including cellist Matt Haimovitz and violinist Yumi Hwang-Williams.
