Pièce concertante / Streichquartett V / Pezzo fantasioso / Tapis / Teile Dich Nacht

On the invitation of the House of the Cultures of the World in Berlin the Isang Yun Ensemble Pyongyang (North Korea) was the guest of the Federal Republic of Germany with seven concerts in May 1999, resulting in headlines like "Musical Bridgehead", "Reconciling Light", or "Isang Yun as the Hero and Saint of Music". The lively and spontaneous but not aestheticized interpretations of the chamber music works of Isang Yun - born in South Korea, living and working mostly in Berlin - by the Isang Yun Ensemble Pyongyang are captured on this recording from one of the performances from this fascinating tour.
