EXCLUSIVE: Insu Hwang (South Korea), Round 4, 2015

Exclusive footage of baritone Insu Hwang singing Was duftet doch der Flieder from Wagner鈥檚 Die Meistersinger von N眉rnberg in Cardiff Singer of the World 2015.

About the music: Hans Sachs, the cobbler poet of Nuremburg, sits outside his shop at night, thinking about the song he heard Walter von Stolzing sing to the Mastersingers earlier that day. He knows that the Masters did not like the song, but something in it struck him with its purity and beauty.
