The Farewell

With her debut album, Jiaxin Min introduces herself as a fascinating new voice on the international piano scene. Since the Queen Elisabeth Competition, where she established herself as a audience favorite, she has combined expressive intensity, clarity of thought and a deeply personal artistic vision. Centered on the themes of farewell and reunion, the program brings together Beethoven’s intimate “Farewell” Sonata (“Les Adieux”), Liszt’s dramatic Ballade No. 2 and Barber’s powerful Piano Sonata. Through these seminal works, Jiaxin Min explores themes of absence, change and rediscovery, while also reflecting on her own personal journey through music and her return to the stage. This debut not only combines virtuosity with introspection and emotional depth, but also reveals an artist of striking maturity and individuality.
