Pletnev records Chopin & Scriabin PURE ANALOGUE
For the first time in 19 years, Mikhail Pletnev recorded a studio album for Deutsche Grammophon.
24 Préludes op.28 by Chopin & Scriabin op.11 were recorded in just 4 ½ hours in one session on 14 November 2024. It is the first purely analogue recording by Deutsche Grammophon since 1980.
Analogue version captured using two custom made Sennheiser microphones, recorded on a tube Studer C37. A separate 11-channel microphone setup was captured and converted in high resolution digital audio to be mixed for CD, digital download, streaming and Dolby Atmos. Discover the difference between the two versions and enjoy the music.

The last built Neumann VMS 82
The last built Neumann VMS 82 has found a new home! Introduced in 1981, just before the CD took over, the VMS 82 marked the final evolution of vinyl technology: a cutting lathe for Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) – using copper blanks as a medium instead of lacquer discs. This particular specimen, the last one ever produced, spent most of its life at Neumann Headquarters … until now!
Its new home is Emil Berliner Studios, just across Potsdamer Platz. Getting it there through Berlin traffic turned quite a few heads! But after refurbishment, the VMS 82 will enjoy a most exciting life. A specialty of Emil Berliner Studios is Direct-to-Disc recording!
Many thanks to Marcel Brell for the production of this video and to Joscho Stephan for allowing us to use "Hallo, kleines Fräulein" from the direct-to-disc album "Paris-Berlin" (BMS 1817 V on Berliner Meister Schallplatten).
