The concert and more here - http://www.wnyc.org/music/korea.html

I'm not equipped to judge the performance, but the hall sounds great, and the music affecting in context.

Any speculation on the Clapton Rationale?

Where do I know Arirang from? The refrain, at least.

yeah, but I'm assuming I've heard it out of context in movie or commercial or something

I have this image of the first North Korean exchange student in New York, confused and disappointed that his fellow students aren't listening to Dvorak and Wagner

I got kind of mad at the local news anchor for suggesting that Western/European art music is some sort of "universal language."

I wish they would bring the Arirang Mass Games on tour to my country.

I wonder will they allow Clapton to leave.
