The "Symphonicity" world tour—a grand symphonic concert series featuring a "Best of The Police & Sting" setlist performed with both an orchestra and a band—finally arrives in Japan. This release features a complete recording of the tour's momentous opening night—the January 13, 2011 performance in Osaka—captured in stunning, high-fidelity sound that delivers incredible power and an immersive atmosphere.

You will undoubtedly be moved by Sting’s soaring vocals—arguably some of his best ever—and the masterful, perfectly nuanced guitar work of his longtime collaborator Dominic Miller. Above all, the thrilling and dynamic performance alongside the orchestra is truly spectacular. The duets with backing vocalist Jo Lawry are also a highlight not to be missed.

This "Sylph Memorial" release is a must-hear item that recreates the breathtaking two-and-a-half-hour show with authentic sound and a sense of realism that gives you goosebumps. We guarantee a truly blissful listening experience.
