Legendary Pianist's First DG Recording in Decades!
The First Purely Analog DG New Production Since the 1980s!

This item not eligible for any further discount offers!

Mikhail Pletnev releases his first studio album on Deutsche Grammophon since 2005. The artistic versatility of the pianist, conductor, and composer is reflected in the special expressiveness of his interpretations of two important prelude cycles: Chopin's 24 Preludes, Op. 28, and Scriabin's 24 Preludes, Op. 11. With inimitable sound design, the legendary Russian artist captures the character of each individual miniature.

A release full of surprises and defying all clichés. An album that was planned as a live recording but then became a studio recording. A stroke of luck for all listeners, because, whether it was chance or the intervention of a higher musical providence: what emerged from the studio recording, in a single four-and-a-half-hour session, can only be described as pure magic.

Pletnev recorded the album on his preferred instrument, a Shigeru Kawai grand piano, which only he plays, which is provided for all his concerts, and whose tonal palette and transparency lend his interpretations additional depth.

This vinyl recording is also a true sensation in a second respect: It is the first purely analog DG production since the 1980s! Using specially made Sennheiser microphones and a Studer C37 tube tape machine, Pletnev's recording was captured and then minimally processed using classic cutting and splicing techniques. The result is the unadulterated sound in its full, warm musicality, which gives the original life and depth.
