The Scorpions gave a foretaste of what is to come when, at the invitation of the German government, they played in front of Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on 11 November 1999, the 10th anniversary of German reunification. Joining them in their performance of Wind of Change were 166 cellists. The work was conducted by the distinguished cello virtuoso Mstislav Rostropovich. In January 2000, the SCORPIONS and Christian Kolonovits began studio recordings in Vienna. The Berlin Philharmonic recorded the orchestral parts in April 2000. The complete work was mixed during April and May 2000 at the Galaxy Studios in Belgium, using the state-of-the-art Surround System Atmos 5.1. The crossover CD Moment of Glory, featuring the SCORPIONS with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, was released on 19 June 2000. The first live performance took place at EXPO in Hanover on 22 June 2000. The album also includes the official EXPO anthem Moment of Glory.

I remember hearing these two for the first time. I was blown away by the harmonies - the Berliner Philharmoniker don't feel like supporting the Scorpions, but incorporating them into the orchestra. And this says so much about the modesty of the band - taking a step back to allow the classical musicians to do their magic is something few other rock musicians would do. It can't be seen with Metallica and definitely with Yngwie Malmsteen.

The album this song is off of is my favorite Scorpions album - the combination of metal and orchestra is just wonderful!

Diese ist mir in Seele geschrieben 🎉🎉
@jefemaestro1117
Moment of glory is such an epic album, love it
@mayoite160
IMO these 2 pieces are the purest, best synthesis of metal and orchestral music yet. leagues ahead of anything on S&M (edit: also more epic than therion)
@PNW_Marxist
I love S&M and Therion both, but I find myself agreeing with you. This piece is fucking incredible.
@karumina
This is just about right, Theron gets too heavy sometimes
@davidkerber99
@@karumina Therion is a metal band, of course they're heavier than the Scorpions
@karumina
@@davidkerber99 yeah but this cancels out the power of the orchestra
@Sputryk
Quite simply, one of the most fantastical hybrid performances you will ever hear. Exhilarating! 🤘🤘🤘
