This year, through the app, leading Chinese musicians, including Chen Qigang, Ye Xiaogang, Guo Wenjing, Zhou Long, Wang Jian, Xu Weilin and others will talk about those pieces, their creation and Chinese music in the world.

"I'd like to say how glad we are to see that BMF is back. It is one of the greatest events in the classical music world and is internationally famous," says Dickon Stainer, president and CEO, Global Classics and Jazz, a division of Universal Music Group.

"It is a great innovation to re-create the festival digitally in this extraordinary year. We would like to support maestro Yu and the BMF. May the powerful music move all of us in Beijing, Berlin and all over the world," says Clemens Trautmann, president of Deutsche Grammophon.

"Yu and his team have come up with the interesting program combining live concerts with online music. We are delighted to contribute many tracks to the online program. I hope music lovers will enjoy them," says Klaus Heymann, president of Naxos Music Group, who has been following the BMF for the last 20 years.
