Where does "Earth Song" cover by London Symphony Orchestra come from?

[Maxym]

I found very few info about this cover.
Do we know when and where it was recorded?
Is some kind of tribute they recorded after Michael's death or a live performance?

Also, is it available on a CD or lossless digital?

Sounds amazing.

Unfortunately I can't find it on iTunes...

Are you sure it's not The Berlin Festival Orchestra ?

 

[Maxym]

I don't know, all the sources I know are videos that say "London Symphony Orchestra".

I found a snippet mentioning Berlin Festival Orchestra here: https://www.deezer.com/en/track/72302482
(I don't have a Deezer subscription, also I don't buy on iTunes.)
In the snippet I think I hear pan flute or something like that and I don't remember it in the video I posted, but I don't have time to re-listen to it right now.

It’s a wordplay because it’s a sin to like his music these days

Nice work!

Interesting that's from a generic pop compilation. Often these orchestras do a whole album devoted to the same artist.

This thread reminds me I have an MJ album performed by a violinist called Racine.
