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.

it's like the most popular korean song ever.

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.
