  • Description

    Marking one of Idil Biret's most memorable achievements, this special edition captures her extraordinary 1999 recital at the Schwetzingen Festival - an event shaped by extreme weather, a rushed helicopter flight, and her unshakable artistic focus. Widely regarded as one of the leading interpreters of Chopin, Biret was invited to honour the 150th anniversary of the composer's death and reached the Mozart Hall only minutes before delivering an all-Chopin programme of striking refinement and expressive power. Esteemed critic Joachim Kaiser hailed her performance as among the most compelling of its time - distinguished by clarity, strength, and poetic nuance. Recorded in cooperation with SWR, these tracks preserve the brilliance and resilience that defined an unforgettable moment in Biret's distinguished career.
