Idil Biret (piano)About
When it comes to the Variations on a Theme by Paganini, I shall quote Remy Stricker: “Only an exceptional pianistic genius could deliver the ideal version of such an inhuman work”…Idil Biret’s version is of such high quality that I have to speak in terms of this young pianist’s genius…I have nothing but admiration for the stunning brio with which she approaches the fast passages (starting with the first two variations of each Book!), indeed I confess to being captivated by it. Similarly, I was frequently enchanted by her poetic readings of some of the slow variations, which she plays with simplicity, avoiding effusive excess. All in all, this is an album to compete with Katchen’s.” - José Bruyr: Disques (France) 1962
