In 1967, Isang Yun was abducted from Berlin to Seoul by the Korean secret police, tortured, and charged with high treason, leading to a life sentence that was later overturned due to international protests.
Album & Artwork
The album's cover art features 'The White Tiger,' a fresco from the Great Tomb of Kangso, which also inspired Isang Yun's work 'Images'.
Composer Biography
Isang Yun's compositional style blends Eastern and Western elements, integrating dodecaphony and 'developing variation' into his 'main-tone technique' from traditional Korean music.
