This concert film presents an all Bartók program, featuring renowned violinist Gidon Kremer and celebrated conductor Pierre Boulez leading the Berlin Philharmonic. The performance includes notable pieces from Bartók's repertoire, emphasizing the depth of his compositions.

The highlight of the concert is "The Miraculous Mandarin," a work that premiered in 1926 but was composed between 1918 and 1919. Its controversial themes and the scandal it caused upon release add context to the concert's significance. With a runtime of 102 minutes, this film is a valuable showcase of Bartók's music as interpreted by leading artists in the classical music scene.
