Description (Translated):
CONTINUUMUnceasing resonance, eternal present
God-given voice, Jo Sumi
A special album capturing that 40-year journey and the future
Looking back, the past 40 years have been not merely an accumulation of experience, but a process of constantly refining myself and being reborn. The time I spent singing in countless opera houses and concert halls around the world transcended personal glory; it was a meaningful journey of walking the global stage alongside South Korea. This album, *CONTINUUM*, signifies the fruition of that long period and, at the same time, a new beginning.
“As the title ‘CONTINUUM’ implies, my music does not remain stagnant at any single moment but continues on, moving forward toward new possibilities. This album features a mix of works, ranging from challenging coloratura arias that have never been recorded before to new music by contemporary composers. To continue challenging myself toward new music rather than settling on familiar paths—that is my mindset toward music.” – Sumi Jo –
- The ceaseless resonance and eternal songs of the present presented to Sumi Jo by top domestic and international composers such as Yiruma, Choi Jin, Ko Young-hwan, Park Jong-hoon, Kim Jin-hwan, Yoon Ja-eun, and Takatsugu Muramatsu
- Featuring violinist Danny Koo
- A special duet song with Suho, the leader and vocalist of the group EXO
Description (Original):
CONTINUUM멈추지 않는 울림, 영원한 현재
신이 내린 목소리, 조수미
그 40년의 여정과 미래를 담은 스페셜 앨범
“돌이켜보면 지난 40여 년의 시간은 단순한 경력의 축적이 아니라, 끊임없이 자신을 단련하고 다시 태어나는 과정이었습니다. 세계의 수많은 오페라 극장과 콘서트홀에서 노래할 수 있었던 시간들은 개인적인 영광을 넘어, 대한민국과 함께 세계 무대를 걸어온 뜻깊은 여정이기도 했습니다. 이번 앨범 〈CONTINUUM〉은 그 긴 시간의 결실이자 동시에 또 다른 시작을 의미합니다”
“CONTINUUM이라는 제목이 의미하듯, 저의 음악은 어느 한 순간에 머무르지 않고 계속 이어지며 새로운 가능성을 향해 나아가고 있습니다. 이 음반에는 지금까지 음반으로 남기지 않았던 고난도의 콜로라투라 아리아부터 동시대 작곡가들의 새로운 음악이 함께 담겨 있습니다. 익숙한 길에 머무르기보다 새로운 음악을 향해 계속 도전하는 것, 그것이 제가 음악을 대하는 마음입니다” - 조수미 -
- 이루마, 최진, 고영환, 박종훈, 김진환, 윤자은, Takatsugu Muramatsu 등 국내외 최정상의 작곡가들이 조수미에게 선사한 멈추지 않는 울림과 영원한 현재의 노래들
