I want to ask about deutsche grammophon's new lp vinyl.

I want to buy deutsche grammophon’s new vinyl but suddenly wondered they make thier new vinyls as analog record or just digital record. I don’t want to buy vinyl if they made it as digital record. The vinyl I want to buy is [Destination Rachmaninov: Departure] and it released October 12, 2018. Sorry for the poor english😭 If you know anything about it please let me know..

+1, lewm.
It appears Deutsche Grammophon has a compression free recording. You can listen on Qobuz, if you like what you hear, you can then buy it on Vinyl.

This is a lovely sounding album on Qobuz. Actually, it doesn't sound like a stereotypical DG album; strings are warm and smooth, well defined piano, very balanced. The low noise-floor should add to a vinyl experience.

I need to check out the SQ of other recent DG recordings.

I’ve got quite a few OEM DG LPs that I bought new in the 70s. All analog, and many of them could make your ears bleed.

You got that right. Mine were bought used and they had that dry, edgy, over mic'd sound. It's a shame they had contracts with many of the great conductors and orchestras.

Yes, you could like DG or lump DG back then.  No one else had the top orchestras.
