Yes, after playing Arirang, I could see that it was touching their souls. People are people. Great job NY Philharmonic! Really enjoyed watching this video.
The NK Cultural Minister at 21:54 is a very funny and gregarious guy. I can tell that he's very popular with both NKoreans and foreigners. He died 3 years later and his biographical blurbs always mention the NY Philharmonic visit, which he had a big role in arranging. This was probably the biggest coup of his career.
***** That's true but in his case, he likely died from natural causes. Kim Jong-Il actually praised him after he passed, so the chance of him being executed is remote. In that short exchange with Lorin Maazel, he came off as very witty and KJI probably liked him. But you never really know in NK. When NK want to purge somone but don't want to announce it, they just say he died from an automobile accident. A passenger car passes by every 15-30 minutes after rush hours in Pyongyang. There is virtually zero chance of a head-on collision in NK.
Rumble 365 Oh if he died during last part of KJI era, probably illness or something else. I thought he died during KJU era, the young confused man. Yes, it's joke when they say car accident death.
***** Yes, he died in 2011, 9 months before KJI. I can tell that the the cultural minister (Song Seok-Hwan) is very good with flattery. Plus KJI was into movies, plays, and music, etc. So he was probably allowed to die from natural causes. It would have been a whole new ballgame under KJU and his minions.
"excellent.... she's my colleague"... there's a lotta things people can say about the politics of Korea....... but DAMN that guy killed that line and he knows it. Just look at the look on his face!
This is unlike anything I've never seen before. I got chills hearing the orchestra play both anthems. It saddens me that North Korea doesn't get the necessary attention they deserve. It's the only country in isolation & seeing bus loads of Americans there will truly go down in history. I hope in the near future we can all unite & promote peace, not war!
What an absolutely beautiful documentary of an amazing trip, an exchange of cultures, emotions and hearts, through music. I'm sure the members that had reservations on going, came away appreciating the experience the most.
This is so heartwarming and makes me feel hopeful that there's going to be some sort of relative friendship in the next years. I loved this video. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing once in a lifetime experience. I feel proud to know that my experience in music can be life changing not just to me, but to millions of people all around the world.
Excellent production from both humanism and music value perspectives. Amazingly it took over a decade for Google algorithm to connect me with this deep soul searching moment. Thank you
For all the horrors of NK, the country does have some excellent English translators. The woman in white at 13:26 is very good and caught everything uttered by Lorin Maazel, which isn't that easy to do. Her boss is also excellent. They're better than most South Korean translators, who're prone to over or undertranslating.
Alejandro Cao Be Benos is not a "special delegate" of North Korea. Why both interviewing him? He gave himself that title. His title is just some privileged Spaniard guy that supports the DPRK regime. That "Committee for Cultural Relations with foreigners" does not represent any countries. It's just the name of a company that he owns and registered in Spain. He recently was arrested for arms trafficking for the DPRK in Spain. He's shady. Why bother interviewing him?
Beautiful but sad because of the events continuing to unfold and the lives outside of Pyongyang. Music and dance are wonderful ways of connecting; the experience can lead to so much optimism and I can only hope the positive feelings continue to build- and that there's cause to feel positive in our interactions.
Yes, and the whole event could be watched on "all" those TV-sets in the DPRK... without electricity... Sadly this was only for the privileged few, who do not communicate with those in the country-side, trying to survive...
Relations hip has to start somewhere, through music it is possible. One can argue, that there were only privileged people in the concert hall, but at the end of the concert true emotions could be seen. Only through the leadership things can be changed, no matter what kind of government... The process is slow, but much better than using force. I wish the Koreans well, all of them, and all the peoples of the world. If there is a "god", it can only be one, for all...
thank you for your video, this was in 2009 we have look at part 1 and 2 this how things should be in the world, frenfrendships and kindnesse. we have one question to ask you that you put the DPRK/northkorean Anthem" AEGUKKA" on You Tube, we will even be more happy
At 22:40 did he just blurt out "my North Korean daughter" followed up by "ciao bella", then forcing cheek-kissing with that poor girl? He must have thought himself such a bad ass, using that ol' American charm to win 'em over Never cringed so hard.
Hearing the US anthem and seeing the American flag displayed in the DPRK is something I would've never imagine. This event is incredibly special and historic , I cant believe I'm finding out about this just now.
Goes to show, you take away all that political ideological standoff bullshit aside, people are people wherever you go. They all want to live and enjoy their lives in their own terms. And some things are just universal.
At the beginning I was against this. My thoughts: ‘Purely for a ruthless dictator to show his power! Just for the elite. (Which was true).’ But was in tears by the end. Playing the anthem and folk song (which is a beautiful piece of music) really joined hearts (including mine)! It is sad that the political situation has become so much worse since Kim Jong Il has passed away. The people are suffering so! It is said that 80% of the population is starving in the true sense of the world! 80%‼️‼️ They have the most nuclear weapons of any country with the possible expectation of China. They have the second largest military force next to the USA!! And probably the most hard core brainwashed people in the world (IMO)! What happened to cause this? They actually teach children in school to call Americans ‘Yankee B*stards’. During the music lessons (part 1) when the girl who played the violin was about to play, she looked scared to death. She never cracked a smile or seemed to acknowledge him. I was surprised to see a girl especially after hearing the explanation of the fact that the Pyangyoung Orchestra is comprised of all men except for 2female harpists.
Kim jong il closed the country, in 2008 jong il still thought to open the country after his death as his step brother, cho sang tek wanted for example open to china with this failed project in the north and work with huyndai but kim jong un messed up

Rumble 365 Do you know by any chance that if he 21:54 died natural or executed?
Many on the top level are getting killed since Kim Jong Un took over.

beautiful documentary, when you strip the complexities and conflicts of politics...people are people...music is our universal unifier

Aaahh....just lovely. Thanks for this. I would love to know what the entire program selections were.
Lorin Maazel is a musical genius....bravo Maestro

He’s a useful idiot.
He actually is a party member
That was lovely. Esp when they played arirang that was just beautiful
This documentary is very refreshing. Thank you for sharing.

I must say that Pyongyang's Concert Hall is beautiful !!! :)
Thank you for uploading this.
No matter where you live, or what you believe, music is the language we all understand and see eye-to-eye on.
Heart warming . A sense of hope for the people of America and North Korea though music .
Playing of the anthems was so moving. 😥
Wow very touching and history in the making
Very moving and touching. Thank you.
I would love to invite NY Philharmonic performs to Vientiane…..Please
It is tragic relations have gone nowhere since. You can see how easy it is to gain trust.
thank you for your video, read show, you will like this concert
thank you for your video, this was in 2009 we have look at part 1 and 2 this how things should be in the world, frenfrendships and kindnesse. we have one question to ask you
that you put the DPRK/northkorean Anthem" AEGUKKA" on You Tube, we will even be more happy
Music the great communicator
Why wasn't this on the news here in the US? Maybe I missed it?
Simply heart breaking finish !!
thx for the info didnt know this guy before
No, it's not him in the middle.
Time Travel.
That was awesome
ok i believe you, have a good day
Great video of how music can bring people together. Can someone tell me the name of the musical piece commencing at 23:58 please.
10:48 National anthems 16:45 Ariyang
At 22:40 did he just blurt out "my North Korean daughter" followed up by "ciao bella", then forcing cheek-kissing with that poor girl? He must have thought himself such a bad ass, using that ol' American charm to win 'em over Never cringed so hard.
na it wasnt cringy, it was genuine kindness
really touching.
This was recorded in 2008.
for many it's a once in a lifetime experience as music delegation members visiting the country
Can someone tell me the name of the piece that starts at 14:30. Thanks
It is the third movement of Antonin Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 "From The New World".
talks about talking korean yet only said one or two words
It's nice to see just 1 video of a positive interaction between our people. Im so tired of the hate and war.
There a young Kim Jong Il in the audience at 00:00 WHAT THE HELL?!!!
Hearing the US anthem and seeing the American flag displayed in the DPRK is something I would've never imagine. This event is incredibly special and historic , I cant believe I'm finding out about this just now.
Goes to show, you take away all that political ideological standoff bullshit aside, people are people wherever you go. They all want to live and enjoy their lives in their own terms. And some things are just universal.
Pray for the beautiful people of North Korea. Wonderfully moving documentary.
23:30 I've read about this visit, and I'm so glad to see these videos!!
Thank you for posting this. We need to free the North Koreans and somehow get that brain wash out of them.
oh they were allowed there and allowed out. Didn't get kidnapped like others americans.

Actually poverty was worse under Jong Il. Il Sung was the best of the Kims
Beautiful. Made me cry
well I guess the 'musical diplomacy' didn't work out that well, did it?
Kim jong il closed the country, in 2008 jong il still thought to open the country after his death as his step brother, cho sang tek wanted for example open to china with this failed project in the north and work with huyndai but kim jong un messed up
At least dprk parade today or like james bond movies but kim is the villain, with blockbuster musics
9:09 ). 심정이 어드렌지! 말해

About what she might saying , she didn't make
Mistake. ㅡ☯️🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I am watching this, at castleton va, maestro maazel’s home
Ask the Koreans about the Japanese Colonial Occupation. Is it better than Washington's Colonial Occupation?
What washington colonial ? And since japanese colonial, regime has changed, time has changed, you are not smart
@@user-gq8rw6hf9v Better informed than You.
lies dont tell lies.ok?
300 NK people were executed during the making of this film for showing emotion towards the American people. I guess the NK people do have feelings
