I was in South Korea when this performance was broadcasted live. It was nothing short of amazing seeing everyone, literally everyone, drop what they were doing so they could watch and listen. For the roughly ten minutes this was heard the idea of North vs South Korea was put on hold. What most people don't talk about is that after this concert the NYPhil was held up coming back to the states. Regardless: history was made here, and it was cool getting to witness it. Fun fact: this rendition of Arirang was composed by a North Korean.
Beautiful ❤. I really enjoyed attending the North Korean, ''Songs of Reunification Concert' in Seoul in 2018. Everyone had tears in their eyes at the end of the performance. Me too.❤
"What most people don't talk about is that after this concert the NYPhil was held up coming back to the states." Would you care to explain what you mean by "held up"? My understanding of that expression is to forcefully prevent someone from leaving some place. If that is the case, could please supply a link? I Goggled this assertion and of more than 50 suggestions, not a single one mentioned such an occurrence.
@dannyaraujo9515 best bet would be to contact the Phil itself and ask about it. I was in South Korea like I said when both this concert happened as well as receiving word (and not street word via the Lance Corporal Underground nor the E4 Mafia) that they were not being allowed to leave when they intended to. Myself and others began to wonder if we were going to end up going over the border by force to rescue them. The Phil probably still has people who were there in North Korea in 2008, and could probably recall what happened after the concert. Most I can recall is North Korea didn't like someone's information on a visa or passport or something; so I didn't mention it because it isn't clear to me anymore. It was through them however that I found out the name of the North Korean who composed this rendition of Arirang (years before finding this TH-cam link).
Phenomenal event and solid proof of music's power to make you forget all your troubles, if.only for a brief moment that lasts an entire lifetime. Well done! 👏 👏 👏 RIP Maestro Lorin Maazel. 🌻

We need this music and Libra singing to keep peace in the world. Let's have us all to keep each other in Gods hands!!! The world has to change for all of us to tolerate each other! Love to all!
SO moving! It was incredible they chose Airirang to end on, an American group playing an North Korean arrangement of a song N and S Koreans all have claim to as their national identity. Music can really unite us if only for a moment. The audience was so cool to see too, everyone's reactions and their appreciation at the end. It makes me wonder, do they listen to classical alot in NK? Is it popular? And do audiences observe the same "rules" (no clapping between movements etc) that we do or are there different conventions?
At 5800 meters in Ladakh border of china in june this gives me the link to.my soul ..at 75 ..broke and nomadic. Too smart for my own Good ..thanks ..maybe I live another day . music is the compass direction emotional. Clarity.😊
Kim jong ought to listen ti this and treat his people With Love and dignity. Thry serve a monster ..as are trumps putins assads netanayhu....corporate world greed. .. Destroying akk we know as human nature. At rest
How you can you in all honesty assume that? I am willing to bet was a mission to reach out to the North Korean people as part of a greater mission of reconciliation between our two governments.
So I was in South Korea when this played live in 2008. For all the garbage that we knew Kim Jong-Il to be: one thing he did right was have an appreciation for the arts. The diplomatic negotiations to get the New York Philharmonic of all ensembles into Pyongyang was and is way out of my league for what I'm paid to know and understand, but they got it done. Every facial reaction in the audience I'll assure you was genuine. South Koreans shared the same, and for the roughly ten minutes while this played and was heard there were no longer two separate Koreas; just one. For all the ways American Pie II (band camp) was detrimental to the music industry this gave practically every reason for it to still exist and continue to thrive. I'll also throw out there that this particular rendition of Arirang was composed by a North Korean composer. I looked hard trying to find it, and eventually I came across that tidbit of info, and I contacted the NYPhil to confirm it which they did.

Yes, it sounded very familiar.

So wonderful! My favourite composition ever... Arirang
Music can heal world's divisions. Sure, understand.

Un honor este primer like.

W la bella musica,w la pace e la concordia tra i popoli,che un giorno possano vincere!
I imagine this would have been the ending song for a movie about the Korean conflict where they finally unite.
I never knew this happened.
A música é a melhor coisa que existe !!!

I cried watching this live and it makes me emotional again each time I hear it, so beautiful

Ze weten in ieder geval hoe ze moeten klappen.😅😅😅😅
This rendition was composed by a North Korean. Children in NK have classical music in their education. Go clown comment somewhere else
Not every day you get to tour in Hell itself.
The audiences probably forced to believe the artists came to pay respect for their Supreme Leader
