About
Pianist and label owner Lydia Jardin graduated from the Paris conservatoire and continues to pursue an international career. She is a passionate and committee musician, and is a regularly invited guest to French radio and TV stations.
She founded a festival celebrating female classical musicians and her label, Ar-Re-Se (meaning ‘those women there’ in the Breton language), features only female performers.
On this recording, Jardin presents the Piano Sonatas numbers 2, 3 & 4 written by Miaskowsky and comments that they are ‘huge, crucible-like works which measure up to the works written by his Western contemporaries like Prokofiev or Rachmaninov.’

there is much to admire and plenty of difficulties to challenge any pianist. Lydia Jardon rises to those challenges with an obvious reverence for the music which translates into beautifully sensitive and thoughtful playing making this a disc that will be of interest to all lovers of the Russian School of piano writing
