This program explores the Berlin recording session of Lang Lang and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle. The documentary provides insight into processes that are usually veiled: the recording of an album in a league of its own, the preparation of the musicians, the recording in the Philharmonie Berlin, the battle for the perfect sound, and the mixing and balancing units during the audio post-production. Lang Lang, Sir Simon Rattle, the musicians of the Berliner Philharmoniker, and the audio engineers as well take center stage. The musical pieces recorded are Béla Bartóks Piano Concerto No. 2, and Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3
