The songs of Korean composer Young Jo Lee, chosen by singer Yoora Lee-Hoff for her Genuin debut, seem like enchanting ink drawings from the Far East. The fabulous coloratura soprano, accompanied by Michael SchÃ¼tze on the piano, performs the little treasures with great naturalness, a beautiful sound and as clear as a bell. The spectrum of songs from all creative periods of the contemporary composer ranges from the simple, folk-like strophic song to a touch of magical post-impressionist color. Yoora Lee-Hoff sings us about silky haze and scarecrows, moonlit nights and starlight - from another world! Yoora Lee Hoff was born in Seoul, South Korea and lives in Dresden, Germany. As a child she learned to play piano and won several national prizes in South Korea. She later studied violin in South Korea and Germany. During her violin studies she was invited to study vocal arts at the University of Music and Theatre in Leipzig, and went on to debut at the Leipzig Opera House.
