Synopsis by Nathan Southern
February 26, 2008 marked a historic date for music and global culture per se; it witnessed the first performance in history by an American symphony in the People's Republic of Korea - thus unifying two countries long divided by political and ideological differences. That concert appears here in its full and complete version. Selections include: the prelude to act three of Lohengrin by Richard Wagner; the traditional piece "Arirang," "An American in Paris" by George Gershwin and several others.
