Recordings
The State Symphony Orchestra has released two compact discs containing Isang Yun's orchestral, chamber and choral works via Japanese company Camerata in the 1980s. Since 2000, they have made their own CD series via Kwangmyong Music Company (KMC), North Korea's only recording company. They only recorded domestic works until 2003.
In 2005, they recorded the Seventh Symphony, which was composed by Dmitri Shostakovich for their 15th album released from KMC. It was subtitled as "Foreign Music Vol.1 (외국음악집 1)". It was not only the first CD ever released in North Korea which only contained Western classical music, but it also has longest playing time of any North Korean CDs.
