Pianist Swetlana Meermann-Muret takes us on a journey through the heights and depths of the Russian soul. This prizewinner of international competitions devotes herself to gems of piano literature - the rarely recorded miniatures by Anatoly Lyadov and Anton Arensky. Lyadov's Préludes, in particular, are more than just precursors of well-known works by Rachmaninoff and Scriabin! Swetlana Meermann-Muret, a native Russian pianist, devotes herself to these treasures with an attention to detail and a warm sound. Moving testimonies of a lost culture! © Genuin
