Description
Idil Biret's recordings of Schumann's Kreisleriana, Blumenstuck and Carnaval de Vienne show the pianist in her best form: majestic, accurate, clear and always poetic. The lyrical sections of the Kreisleriana are of dreamlike beauty while the fast movements are at times performed with extraordinary humour and at others with glowing passion. Truly Schumannesque.' PIANO NEWS - Germany 2013.'The most exciting young pianist to come to Montreal in years. She has a personal magnetism that belongs only to a certain type of virtuoso performer, one who succeeds in hypnotizing you no matter how or what he or she is playing... Miss Biret is one of the finest natural Schumann players I have ever come across. In fact I cannot recall ever hearing a better all round performance of Schumann's Fantasiestucke in any concert hall in this city.' THE MONTREAL STAR - Canada 1960.'At her recital in the Opera House Concert Hall last Thursday... the storm and stress of Schumann's Symphonic Studies, op.13 forged ahead with a fine romantic impulse... Idil Biret can be counted among the leading performers of piano keyboards.' THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD - Australia 1980.
