You may also enjoy this song, a Korean melody especially inspiring to Mi-kyung. This is a setting to music by Korean composer Woon-Young Na (나운영) of Psalm 23 'The Lord is my Shepherd' - 여호와는 나의 목자시니:
Audio extracts recorded during live concerts have been bundled into a first album entitled "Concerts Parisiens: melodie, lied, opera" released in June 2010. A second album entitled "Live in St Amarin: De Summertime à West Side Story" followed in March 2012. Based on jazz, gospel and Broadway musical theater, it was recorded during a recital given by Mi-kyung in the 2011 edition of the "Festival Jazz Amarinois" in Saint-Amarin, France.
Then in May 2014, Mi-kyung came back to a classical repertoire inspired by her German period and the numerous concerts she had given in Germany. She released a studio album called "Lieder forever: Schubert, Mozart, Schumann, Strauss". She is accompanied on the piano by her friend, the marvelous French-Georgian pianist Olga Bakhutashvili.
