About

My teacher Nadia Boulanger was absolutely against Rachmaninov’s music, and when I was asked to play the Third Concerto, this was for her the worst catastrophe that could possibly happen… But, I find a great nobility in Rachmaninov’s music, and when I worked with Mlle Boulanger on his Corelli Variations, she started changing her opinion completely.’ – Idil Biret in her memoirs, 2006

Astonishing piano recordings: Rachmaninov’s Paganini Variations, Op.43 for piano and orchestra is a popular work, but one almost never hears his equally estimable Corelli Variations, Op.42 for solo piano. These Decca recordings by the young Turkish pianist Idil Biret are a remarkable, sparkling demonstration of talent: her Rachmaninov is brilliant, direct, bright... She is never daunted and avoids kitsch. And the 6 Moments musicaux, Op.16 is no less a discovery…’ – Joachim Kaiser, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 1974

Idil Biret’s complete Rachmaninov is unsurpassed for aristocratic, passionate pianism and exacting musicianship.’ – Richard Dyer, Boston Globe, 2000
