Jean-Michel Jarre Releases 40th Anniversary Remastered Edition of ‘The Concerts In China’

Jean-Michel Jarre delivers a remastered edition of The Concerts In China four decades after he took the stage in the country for the first time.


Turn back the clock to 1981, and the world was a starkly different place, especially in China, where the country had just recently reopened its borders to those from the West. In the midst of a cultural revolution, the country welcomed Jean-Michel Jarre to perform a historic concert tour that featured five nights at the People’s Stadium of Shanghai and Beijing. These performances were recorded and released the following year as The Concerts In China – and to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its release, the legendary artist has delivered a remastered edition.

Hot on the heels of Jean-Michel Jarre’s latest album, OXYMORE, which gave his global fanbase even more beautiful soundscapes to immerse themselves in, the remastered version of The Concerts In China breathes life into the ground-breaking experience that occurred decades ago. Found within its tracklist are tunes like “Orient Express,” “Night In Shanghai,” “The Last Rumba,” and “Souvenir Of China,” along with a new composition, “Fishing Junks at Sunset,” which was performed with The Peking Conservatoire Symphony Orchestra.

To this day, The Concerts in China experience remains to be probably the most surreal and poetic of all my experiences. It was an honor to be the first Western musician to play live in the country at that time, and it was like visiting another planet for me; and also for the Chinese audience too it seemed to be the same curious awe… I am delighted that ‘The Concerts in China’ album has been remastered, as it’s something I’m incredibly proud of and remains a testimony of my ongoing attachment to China.
