-----------------------------------

Sumi Jo sings 'Wo die Zitronen blüh'n (Where the Lemons Blossom), Op.364'
by J. Strauss II.

I've always been fascinated by this stunning rendition.
What a beautiful piece!! What a fascinating rendition !!
Bravissima !! Tears !!

Piano - Vincenzo Scalera

Theatre Musical de Paris, Chatelet
April, 2006.

This performance is one of Sumi Jo's DVD
titled "Sumi Jo in Paris - For my Father"
for 20th anniversary of her internatinal debut.

This performance was dedicated to her father.
When she was singing here in Paris, the funeral
of her father was going in Korea.

So, she dedicated this recital to his father,
especially the last song, Ave Maria of Schubert.
