CHOPIN & SCRIABIN PRELUDES Mikhail Pletnev | Deutsche Grammophon

Renowned pianist and conductor Mikhail Pletnev announces his upcoming 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.  

Listen to a first pre-release track of Scriabin’s Prelude No. 21 in B-Flat Major. The full album will be released digitally, on CD and on vinyl on 5 December and is available for pre-order.
