We're sooo tuning into ARTE channel @ 10:00 am when we wake up tomorrow later this evening for the live broadcast of the New York Philharmonic's two hour concert in Pynongyang, DPRK. Starting at 10:00 am (Milan time, bebbe), Maazel will knock the silk socks off of Kim Jong U b illin' and his stormtroopers of death with a concert which will mark the end of a two day musical festival, which we reported here and here and here. Highlights will include the North Korea and USA national anthems, Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin, Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, and Gershwin's An American in Paris. This is gonna be the h0ttest concert north of the demilitarized zone.
