Gergiev was accompanied by the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra of Saint Petersburg, one of Russia's oldest and most accomplished musical ensembles, and the Armenian violinist Sergey Khachatryan.

Featured were two of the greats of this twentieth-century genre: Sergei Prokofiev, with his Classical Symphony, and Dmitri Shostakovich, with his Violin Concerto - with the incredible Sergey Khachatryan as soloist - and Symphony No. 12 ‘The Year 1917'. The audience in the Palace of Charles V was thrilled by a sublime performance.
