(photo credit: David Gray/Reuters)
- Daniel J Wakin in the NYTimes and International Times Herald. More interesting is the audio interview.
- Warwick Thomspon has a rather lame write up on Bloomberg.com that describes the playing of the Koran folksong Arirang, a moment all other press has described as the most moving of the concert, as “long dull piece.”
- Associated Press has a write up here but also brings news that Eric Clapton has agreed, in principle at least, to play a concert in North Korea sometime in 2009.
- The NYPhil website has many multimedia features including slideshows and podcasts.
- CBC (video) | ABC | BBC (video) | Reuters | Globe and Mail | The Times
- CNN has several videos of the concert, the most moving of which is the Korean folksong encore. Kleenex recommended.
- Steve Smith on the TONY blog and Symphony Magazine website
- Anthony Tommasini in the NYTimes
- The Guardian (video)
