Introducing Jiaxin Min in her debut album, this recording marks the arrival of a compelling new voice on the international piano scene.

Emerging as an audience favourite from the Queen Elisabeth Competition she combines expressive intensity, clarity of thought and a deeply personal artistic vision. Centred around the idea of farewell and reunion, the programme brings together Beethoven’s intimate Sonata Lebewohl (“Les Adieux”), Liszt’s dramatic Ballade No. 2, and Barber’s powerful Piano Sonata.

Through these landmark works, Jiaxin Min explores themes of absence, transformation and rediscovery, drawing on her own personal journey through music and returns to the stage. Balancing virtuosity with introspection and emotional depth, this first album reveals an artist of rare maturity and personality.
