Víkingur Ólafsson’s new album forms a unified programme in E major and E minor, linked to his synaesthesia and his association of E with the colour green – reflected in the album cover. In his search for a post-Goldberg project, Ólafsson landed on Beethoven's Sonata op 109, examining it through the lens of Bach's influence.

Mikhail Pletnev:
This album presents legendary pianist Mikhail Pletnev’s first recording for Deutsche Grammophon in almost two decades, and the company's first pure analogue (AAA) frontline release since the 1980s. Chopin’s 24 preludes take us through a kaleidoscope of musical moods and sensations.
