"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
These 24 piano miniatures reveal the full subtlety, richness, and contrasts of human emotions: between melancholy, hope, love, sorrow, passion, and faith. Each piece is a musical gem, crafted with infinite precision.
"Anatoly Lyadov (the 'Russian Chopin') and Anton Arensky (the 'last great lyricist' of Russian Romanticism) present here rare, delicate, and sometimes virtuosic works that immerse us in a world at times intimate, at times radiant.
Dedicated to Olga Viktorovna Shepeleva, my very dear first piano teacher, who passed on to me a love for Russian music.
