A meeting between a world-class harmonica player and a great pop music composer!K-pop's famous songs and famous melodies, composed by Kim Hyeong-seok and reinterpreted by Park Jong-seong, are included in one album.
Jongseong Park
<You, Again> released
Composer Kim Hyeong-seok has left a mark on the history of Korean music after being inspired by the first album of Jae-ha Yoo, who was his senior in the same department as he was in the composition department at Hanyang University, and embarking on a career in popular music.
Harmonist Park Jong-seong has established himself as the first and best qualifier by sweeping the Asia-Pacific Competition, All Japan Competition, and World Harmonica Competition.
Park Jong-seong, who is writing a new history of harmonica performance not only as a classical harmonica player but also as a composer and conductor, carefully selected 10 songs that he would like to play again on the harmonica among about 1,500 pieces by the great Korean pop music composer Kim Hyeong-seok. Arrangements and performances invite listeners to a world of classical and warm music.
Including 'You To Me Again' (Jin-seop Byun), which became the motif of the album title, 'Like the First Day' (Yong-ha Park), which was inserted as drama music and became an unprecedented hit, 'I Believe' (Seung-hoon Shin), and 'Because of Love' A total of ten songs, including (Kim Gwang-seok), were included, and Jong-seong Park said that in the process of selecting songs, there were so many songs he wanted to play with the harmonica that he was happy to worry about. “I selected songs that were deeply in my heart and that I wanted to reinterpret with harmonica,” he said.
This album features cello performances by harmonist Park Jong-seong, pianist Jo Young-hoon from the Liszt Conservatory in Hungary who has collaborated with Park for more than 10 years, Cheon Sang-hyuk, the grand prize winner of the 13th Acoustic Guitar Contest, and David Popper International Cello Competition winner James Kim. It was performed by top-level performers such as , and was performed as a duo, trio, or quartet.
In particular, among the songs included in the album, composer Kim Hyeong-seok played the piano and collaborated with Park Jong-seong on 'Because It's Love' by Kim Gwang-seok. This song is the only song in this album that Kim Hyeong-seok participated in, and he is not an aspiring classical composer, but a popular music composer. It is even more meaningful because it is the song that announced the group's first debut. The ensemble's consideration for each other, in harmony with the original composer's sensibility and harmonica performance, is special.
Composer Kim Hyeong-seok's famous songs and famous melodies, which remain as deep memories in the hearts of the public through the years of joy, anger and sorrow, are reborn as Park Jong-seong's own warm harmonica, transcending time, generation and genre, leading to a new world of emotion, a true song. It will be a luxury album.
"Composer Kim Hyeong-seok's songs have always been on my playlist since my school days. When I decided to join the composer whom I had always admired, I fell into a happy dilemma because there were so many songs I wanted to play on the harmonica.
Among the many famous songs, I carefully selected songs that are suitable for harmonica, songs that remain deeply in my heart, and songs that I really want to play with harmonica. I came to present this album after many nights of arranging and practicing, worrying about how much of my own color I could add to the song, in case it would harm the emotions of the original song.
“I hope that each time you listen to each song, you will be able to take out the emotions of composer Kim Hyeong-seok, my emotions expressed through the performance, and the memories of you who felt the same way as me when listening to this song.” - Jong-seong Park.
Description (Original):
세계적인 하모니카 연주자와 위대한 대중음악 작곡가의 만남!김형석이 작곡하고 박종성이 재해석한, K팝의 명곡, 명멜로디가 한 장의 앨범에 수록
박종성X김형석 프로젝트
<그대, 다시> 발매
한양대 작곡과 시절 같은 과 선배였던 유재하 1집에 감명받아 대중음악의 길을 걷게 된 이후 한국 가요사에 큰 획을 그어온 작곡가 김형석.
아시아태평양대회, 전일본대회, 세계하모니카대회 등을 휩쓸며 최초와 최고의 수식어로 자리잡은 하모니시스트 박종성.
클래식을 기반으로 하모니카 연주뿐 아니라 작곡가이자 지휘자로서도 활약하며 하모니카 연주의 새 역사를 쓰고 있는 박종성이, 한국의 위대한 대중음악 작곡가 김형석의 약 1,500여 곡들 가운데 하모니카로 다시 연주하고 싶은 10곡을 엄선하고 직접 편곡, 연주하여 클래식하고 따뜻한 감성의 음악세계로 청취자들을 초대한다.
앨범 타이틀의 모티브가 된 '그대 내게 다시'(변진섭)를 비롯, 드라마 음악으로 삽입되어 공전의 히트를 기록한 '처음 그 날처럼'(박용하), 'I believe'(신승훈), '사랑이라는 이유로'(김광석) 등 총 열 곡이 수록되었는데, 박종성은, 선곡하는 과정에서 하모니카로 연주해 보고 싶은 곡이 너무 많아 행복한 고민이었다면서 "수많은 명곡들 중에 하모니카에 유난히 잘 어울리는 곡, (자신을 비롯) 사람들 마음에 깊게 남은 곡, 하모니카로 재해석해서 들려주고 싶은 곡들을 선곡"했다고 전했다.
이번 앨범에는 하모니시스트 박종성을 비롯, 박종성과 10년 이상 호흡을 맞춰온 헝가리 리스트 음악원 출신의 피아니스트 조영훈, 제13회 어쿠스틱 기타 경연대회 대상 수상자 천상혁, 그리고 다비드 포퍼 국제 첼로 콩쿠르 우승자 제임스 김이 첼로 연주를 맡는 등 최고 수준의 연주자들이 함께 했으며, 듀오, 트리오, 또는 콰르텟으로 연주되었다.
특히 수록곡 중 김광석의 '사랑이라는 이유로'는 작곡가 김형석이 직접 피아노 연주를 맡아 박종성과 호흡을 맞췄는데, 이 곡은 본 앨범에서 김형석이 연주에 참여한 유일한 곡으로, 그가 클래식 작곡가 지망생이 아닌 대중음악 작곡가로의 첫 데뷔를 알린 곡이기도 하여 더욱 뜻깊다. 원곡 작곡가의 감성, 하모니카 연주와 어우러지며 서로를 배려하는 앙상블이 특별하다.
희노애락의 세월을 함께 하며 대중의 가슴 속에 진한 추억으로 남아있는 작곡가 김형석의 명곡, 명멜로디가 시간과 세대, 장르를 뛰어넘어, 박종성만의 온기 가득한 하모니카로 다시 태어나 새로운 감동의 세계로 이끌어주는, 진정한 명품앨범이 될 것이다.
"김형석 작곡가님의 곡들은 학창시절부터 저의 플레이리스트에 늘 가득했었습니다. 늘 동경해오기만 하던 작곡가 님과 함께하기로 했을 때, 하모니카로 연주해보고 싶은 곡이 너무 많아서 행복한 고민에 빠졌었습니다.
수많은 명곡들 중에 하모니카로 어울리는 곡, 제 마음에 깊게 남아있는 곡, 하모니카로 꼭 들려드리고 싶은 곡들을 소중하게 골랐습니다. 혹시라도 원곡의 감정을 해치진 않을지.. 저의 색채를 얼마나 입혀도 될지를 고심하며 편곡하고 연습했던 수많은 밤을 거쳐 이 음반을 선보이게 되었습니다.
한 곡 한 곡 들으실 때마다 김형석 작곡가님의 감정과, 연주로 표현한 저의 감정, 그리고 이 곡을 듣던 시절 저와 같은 감정을 느끼셨을 여러분의 추억들도 함께 꺼내보시면 좋겠습니다." - 박종성
