For Sir Simon Rattle, this was to be his last tour of Asia as the chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker before he stepped down the following year. They performed in seven cities over 19 days. Their repertoire included Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 2 with pianist Yuja Wang, and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major with Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho. Also performed were the Fourth Symphony by Brahms and the Third Symphony by Rachmaninov. The Asia Tour was released as a boxset in 2018, and included 5 audio CDs with a Blu-ray disc.
