SEOUL April 20 (Yonhap) -- South Korean violinist Park Sue-ye who is one of the representing figures of Korea within the classic scene, released her latest album "Szymanowski: mythes" through Sweden's world-renowned classical label BIS on April 20.

This will be her fifth album, including Park Sue-ye’s debut album released in 2017, which included all of Paganini's Caprice pieces.

Park Sue-ye chose to record pieces by Karol Szymanowski a composer during the romantic era who built his own style by combining French impressionist techniques with Polish ethnicity as the theme for her latest album.

The track "Shinhwa," which lays foundation to the album, due to its original tone and technique, moreover, listeners will be able to appreciate all the high-level techniques which are used by the artist to express the piece by violin. It also sheds light on the composer's world of work from the beginning to the end through violin sonatas, romance, nightlife, tarantella, and lullabies by Aitaco Aia.

Recorded tracks are accompanied by pianist Roland Pontinen, a representative performer of BIS who has released more than 60 albums.

Park Sue-ye addressed, "I tried to capture the dreamy and mysterious color of Szymanowski’s 'Myth'," adding, "It was more interesting than any other song in Sonata, released during composer's early years."
