New York Philharmonic Orchestra – 아리랑
Conductor – Lorin Maazel
Performed – 26 / 02 / 2008 – East Pyongyang Grand Theatre
A rare part of my DVD collection. As this was performed in Pyongyang, I suppose it is acceptable for this channel. This video may get removed, but I suppose it is worth the risk.
During this time, when the distance between the 2 Korea’s appear to be drifting further apart, let us not forgot that this song, regardless of politics, reunites the 2 nations. And here, we have an American orchestra, personally invited by the Ministry of Culture, performing a beautiful rendition in front of an audience in the North Korean capital.
