A PIANIST WITH MULTIPLE ROOTS
With a musical identity shaped by the confluence of three cultures — Russian, German, and French — Swetlana Meermann-Muret, an international concert pianist, captivates her audiences with the depth and sincerity of her playing. Her performances are distinguished by a rare blend of sensitivity, virtuosity, and emotional expression.
Recognized from an early age for her musical talent, Swetlana won First Prize Premier Concours international de jeunes pianistes nommé en l’honneur de Konstantin Igumnov, à Lipetsk, Russia, at the age of twelve. Since then, she has been a laureate of numerous international competitions as a soloist, chamber musician and vocal accompanist, and has been awarded several scholarships in recognition of her talent in Russia, Germany, and France.
Her album Miniatures Russes (Genuin Classics & SWR2, 2021) shines a spotlight on the piano works of Anatoly Lyadov and Anton Arensky. Guided by her love for Russian Romantic music, she unveils hidden gems of the piano repertoire, interpreting them with rare authenticity.” Musical international critics have praised her playing as “luminous, subtly elegant, deeply sincere”

DISCOGRAPHY
"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."
— Swetlana Meermann-Muret
