"Recorded with passion, this project has been close to my heart for a long time. Reviving these rare beautiful piano pieces is like opening a window onto the emotional and poetic richness of two Russian composers often left in the shadows - Anatoly Lyadov and Anton Arensky. Their music, at once intimate, delicate, and profoundly sincere, resonates deeply within me."
