"BYUNG KI HWANG, one of the foremost interpreters of the kayagum, a 12-stringed Korean zither with strings made of twisted silk fiber, is the first composer to have written ''modern'' music on an instrument that dates back some 1,400 years. And on Sunday afternoon at Carnegie Recital Hall, Mr. Hwang, accompanied by Sang Won Park on the changgu (an hourglass drum), performed a program that contrasted his own original descriptive pieces with formal traditional kayagum music…''Forest'' had the tunefulness of an attenuated Irish hornpipe played on an acoustic guitar. ''The Silk Road,'' which contained the program's most variable textures, musically illustrated the concept of translucency with finely spun webs of sound created by extremely delicate strummings on the upper neck of the instrument." The New York Times
