Filmed and recorded live in front of the magnificent scenery of Beijing’s Forbidden City, this unique gala concert held in celebration of Deutsche Grammophon’s 120th Anniversary features conductor Long Yu and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, both freshly signed as exclusive recording artists to Deutsche Grammophon. Joined by soloists Aida Garifullina, Toby Spence and Ludovic Tézier, the evening crowned by Orff’s Carmina Burana was the first classical performance to be staged at the UNESCO World Heritage site in 20 years. The concert is released digitally as well as on CD and DVD / Blu-ray Disc, of which the audio-visual release features additional performances of works by Max Richter and Sergei Rachmaninov with violinist Mari Samuelsen and pianist Daniil Trifonov.
