Movie Reviews of The Pyongyang Concert - New York Philharmonic & Lorin Maazel [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Not much to dislike about this DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

What can I say? The picture quality and camera work is fantastic. The cameras look like they are on top of the orchestra capturing every solo. The sound quality is also quite good. The sound was actually an improvement over the televised version. The performance was just amazing. I have watched this about 10 times and it doesn't get old. I could have done without the two national anthems and the last track where they play a North Korean piece.

Summary of The Pyongyang Concert - New York Philharmonic & Lorin Maazel [Blu-ray]

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 through this DVD we can share this transformative experience with new audiences for years to come -- New York Philharmonic President, Zarin Mehta. Hundreds of millions watched the historic concert on television, now exclusively on DVD: the New York Philharmonic concert in Pyongyang.
Music became diplomacy when this courageous musical project united Americans and North Koreans.
The musicians went from strength to strength in a beautiful program which illustrated the
excellency of the orchestra, and Lorin Maazel once more proved his reputation as one of the best contemporary conductors.
Includes previously unreleased documentary with 53 minutes of exclusive material.
The first classical concert release on Blu-ray Disc offers professional technical standards in the comfort
of your own home.
