The Pyongyang Concert - New York Philharmonic * Lorin Maazel Including the Documentary "Americans in Pyongyang"

"On February 26, 2008, the world watched as the New York Philharmonic gave the first performance by an American orchestra in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Those lucky enough to be present will never forget that historic evening, when people from two long-divided nations were united through the beauty and power of music. By the end of the final encore, both the audience and the musicians onstage stood waving to each other in a new-found spirit of understanding. We are honored and pleased that thorugh this DVD we can share this transformative experience with new audiences to come." - New York Philharmonic President, Zarin Mehta  Songs performed include: Aegukka (national anthem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) * The Star Spangled Banner * Lohengrin: Prelude to Act III (Wagner) * Symphony No. 9 in E minor: From the New World (Dvorak) * An American in Paris (Gershwin) * Farandole: L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2 (Bizet) * Candide: Overture (Bernstein) * Arirang. 159 minutes.
