Interview of Sylvester Levay with NewsWave in Korea
** Mr. Levay is a original composer ofand
This is a forth visit to korea for Mr. Levay, and there’s a special bond with him and this country. Kim Junsu is one of those specials, who played the lead on works of Levay in a row. He took a title role in, and currently casts as ‘Tod’ in.
Mr. Levay raved about the performance of this rising star. “Junsu is at one with the character on the stage.” Then, he talked about their first meeting with a bright face.
“I met Junsu in the opening offor the first time. He was so friendly and such a sweetheart as now. Thankfully, Junsu told me that he was fascinated by my music. Since that day, we’ve got to be friends. I’ve watched the process of his growth as an actor for the last 2 years. Junsu isn’t overawed by a character to be but is assimilated so naturally, and I respect that tremendously. Especially in the case of, there are many similarities between the protagonist and Junsu himself. This point had a strong influence on his heartful performance, I guess.”
For Mr. Levay, ‘Tod’ is a special character. The allegory of Tod as god of death has its long own history. This deep-rooted traditional character was adapted for, and lend a fantastic atmosphere to the play.
Mr. Levay responded to a question about the performance of Junsu as ‘Tod’.
“As you know, ‘Tod’ is utterly different from ‘Mozart’. And I was very impressed with his acting to go into this new character when I saw him in rehearsals. Actually, I changed my departure schedule for watching his first performance. We are like family now and our real families, too.”
And Junsu told that he was a big fan of Mr. Levay, and chose this play unhesitatingly because of the brilliant music.

yeah! this is it! ^^
The interview is of today?
mr Levay do like our Junchan…….
Junsu should’ve been part of the OST… what about us i-fans who weren’t able to see or hear his performances? I will be eternally sad until EMK reconsiders and releases news of a solo-Junsu-CD or something… TT
Levay know of this?!
Well, I think he can come out with his own version of the cd…
Can he? I think maybe with Mr. Levay’s permission, it is possible, right? If I am ever to buy an Elizabeth OST DVD, I want one with Junsu in it… even though I know the rest of the cast are amazing in their own ways, Junsu is first and foremost the reason I am so eager, therefore without him in the OST… /sigh
My excitement has deflated. I really was looking forward to this…
Pray deep inside^^who know our dream will come true.
Same with me, with JunSu then I buy,without him sorry I won’t buy! Do u read chinese?u can look for more detail from Baidu…. The story behind….
I think he should have his own version!
Really pray for it, if I’m not forget Mozart DVD also got two version, right?
thank u Mr. Levay , ur are the mozart genius of our time
Junsu is a fabulous satisfying rare unique musical actor. i wouldn’t buy a korean Elizabeth DVD or ost if it doesn’t have this valubal Junsu in it, because Junsu is what gives performance that complete rich value, the complete satisfactory beauty.
you’re right, I also think alike!
Dear Mr Levay,
Please collaborate with korea more often and offer Junsu oppa all of the main roles while you are at that. Thank you!
And hold on while I go check out the news regarding “elisabeth” ost.
It was always nice to read about Mr,Levay words for junsu

I hope Junsu gets a chance to do more of his plays not only in Korea but in other countries as well.
