Archive Edition 20 - Idil Biret - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

‘Anyone who begins a program with Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata, ends with Prokofiev’s Toccata, and throws in Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit has a prodigious technique. As she demonstrated yesterday afternoon the Turkish pianist Idil Biret must rank as a virtuoso. With unflagging energy, she produced a series of supercharged performances.’ – THE TIMES (UK), 1976 ‘Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit, one of the great landmarks of early 20th Century music, is wonderfully revealed in Idil Biret’s visionary performance.’ – STEREO REVIEW (USA), 1977 ‘Given Ms. Biret’s passion for larger-than-life pianism, she was at her best in the comparatively constricted yet descriptive world of Ravel.’ – NEW YORK TIMES (USA), 2003
