It is a strikng image: two musicians sharing a narrow bench, their hands crossed crossing hands over keyboards as four feet delicately coordinate over pedals. For married organists Olivier Latry and Lee Shin-young, the organ is a stage where they work together as a single musical mind. The couple will bring their partnership to Seoul’s Lotte Concert Hall on Oct. 6 in “Four Hands,” their first Korean appearance together in eight years. The program moves from Rameau to Stravinsky, revealing the organ as a rhythmic, theatrical and orchestral instrument. From restraint to musical trust In a recent written interview with The Korea Times, the duo said their partnership began with a restraint. Latry, then 23 and a titular organist at Notre-Dame de Paris, said he fell in love with Lee when she entered his class at the Paris Conservatoire. “That was not easy, not to show anything during her studies,” he said, adding that he waited eight years until she was no longer his student to reveal his feelings. Lee recalled him as disciplined and reserved, but exceptionally severe in her lessons.
