A real sensation: Mikhail Pletnev releases his first studio album on Deutsche Grammophon since 2005, as the first purely analogue AAA Deutsche Grammophon new recordings and production since the 1980s!
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. The legendary Russian artist captures the character of each individual miniature with inimitable sound design. A release that is full of surprises and defies all clichés. An album that was planned as a concert recording and then became a studio recording. A stroke of luck for all listeners, because whether it was a coincidence or the intervention of a higher musical destiny: 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 that only he plays, which is supplied for all his concerts and whose tonal color palette and transparency lend additional depth to his interpretations.
This vinyl recording is also a real sensation in a second respect: it is the first purely analog DG new production since the 1980s! Pletnev's recording was captured using specially made Sennheiser microphones and a Studer C37 tube tape machine and then minimally edited using classic cutting and gluing techniques. The result is the unadulterated sound in its full, warm musicality that gives life and depth to the original.
Renowned pianist and conductor Mikhail Pletnev releases his new album Chopin & Scriabin: Préludes.
Chopin’s 24 preludes, inspired in part by Bach, take us through every possible major and minor key creating a kaleidoscope of musical moods and sensations. In turn inspired by Chopin’s set, Scriabin’s more rarely heard preludes follow the same tonal outline offering a fascinating prospectus of the visionary Russian composer’s early musical language. The album presents Pletnev’s first DG recording in almost two decades and DG’s first pure analogue (AAA) frontline release since the 1980s, engineered by the Emil Berliner Studios.
The legendary pianist, Mikhail Pletnev, proudly presents his first Deutsche Grammophon recording in decades: 'Chopin & Scriabin: Préludes'. The renditions captured reflect a master's perspective on two masterpieces of the piano repertoire. In an historic milestone for DG, the engineering team captured the performances on a pure analogue vinyl format (AAA).
