About

A gala concert to celebrate the 120th anniversary of Deutsche Grammophon!

Filmed and recorded live to highest industry standards in front of the magnificent scenery of Beijing’s Forbidden City, this unique gala concert features conductor Long Yu and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, both freshly signed as exclusive recording artists to Deutsche Grammophon.

Also featuring major contributions by Mari Samuelsen and Daniil Trifonov (DVD/Blu-ray only!).

Reviews

On this evidence the Shanghai ers are a bright and bushy-tailed orchestra. Their evident commitment and growing sense of style in another culture’s music are heightened by some evidently distinguished orchestral principals who catch the ear here, especially the first flute and bassoon. ... this new reading [of Rachmaninov’s Second Concerto] is no splash-and-dash exhibition but rather (despite the wide-open space of the venue) a considered, large-scale chamber reading of subtle colours. The video director gives the pianist a lot of attention, viewing much of the performance from a kind of squat by his keyboard, catching Trifonov’s clear judgements on his own work in his facial expressions. Carmina Burana: don’t be put off by its seeming laid-backness. This aspect of Yu’s interpretation serves to heighten the folk aspects of the work, too often submerged in a kind of aggressive concert-hall banter. Soloists and choir (both Vienna imports and Shanghai children) are uniformly excellent, Tézier especially being subtle, hypnotic and genuinely witty as opposed to crude buffoMike Ashman
