New duet - Insoo Park, Dongwon Lee's <Perfume>

 

 

 

 

People constantly challenge and create new things.

 

The process of challenging newness, experimenting with it, and going one step at a time seems to be one of the characteristics that makes humans special.

 

 

 

 

However, attempts to shake the existing order sometimes provoke strong opposition, and we often see these repulsions dampen the challengers'.

 

This is no exception to music.

 

 

 

 

In 1989, classic vocalist Park In-soo and pop singer Lee Dong-won released an album called "Perfume," which was made by adding songs to Jeong Ji-yong's poem "Perfume."

 

The song was receiving a lot of attention and love upon its release.

 

Radio requests were flooded with "Perfume," and 1.3 million copies of the album were sold.

 

 

 

 

However, apart from the album's great success, singer Park In-soo is expelled from the National Opera.

 

It was because it defamed classical music and undermined the dignity of vocalists.

 

 

 

 

In fact, "Perfume" is not the first time these attempts and controversies have been made.

 

Placido Domingo, who was called the world's top three tenor in 1981, released the song "Perhaps Love" with American pop singer John Denver,

 

 

 

 

Luciano Pavarotti, another world's top three tenor, also released Caruso with jazz musician Lucio Dalla.

 

Even then, criticism of vocalists coexisted with interest.

 

 

 

 

The term "Baroque," which forms one of the classical music period, means "distorted pearl."

 

It was named by artists of the Renaissance who were uncomfortable with new attempts, criticizing new artists who distorted music.

 

 

 

But attempts at novelty created the musical soil that gave birth to Bach and Handel, who were called the father of music and the mother of music, and their musical assets led to Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.

 

 

 

I think the same goes for vocalist Park In-soo's attempt.

 

In the current music world, a duet between a vocalist and a singer is not an awkward picture at all, and a new genre called "popera" has emerged.

 

This is because there were challengers who did not kneel down to blame, who tried to defy criticism.

 

 

 

 

Today, I will upload Park In-soo and Lee Dong-won's song Perfume, Placido Domingo and John Denver's song Perhaps Love, and Luciano Pavarotti and Lucio Dalla's song Caruso.

 

Have a nice day.
