reviewed by Étienne Moreau.

"These Preludes express a strong personality... Each testifies to very careful work on detail, a clear sense of shape and line and a musical conception that is both warm and lively: the unisson of the 1st, the concealed voice of the 14th, the fifths in the central section of the 15th, the knell in the 17th, are details not open to misinterpretation...
... With her exquisite style Lydia Jardon always holds the attention, and amply avoids that unforgivable hazard for Chopin: indifference?"
