Idil Biret (piano)About
At the 1999 Schwetzingen Festival honouring Chopin’s 150th anniversary, Idil Biret delivered one of the Festival’s most astonishing performances. Renowned for her complete Chopin recordings, Biret was asked at just six hours’ notice to replace Anatole Ugorski – and, defying all expectation, performed his exact demanding programme from memory. Flying through a storm from Brussels to Germany, she arrived minutes before the concert and captivated the audience with her brilliance and poise. Critics hailed her as a rare artist of supreme mastery and courage, with Joachim Kaiser praising her extraordinary musicianship. That weekend, the Schwetzingen Festival witnessed Biret at her transcendent best – an unforgettable celebration of Chopin and pianistic genius.
Recording: Schwetzingen Festival, 14 & 15 May 1999; Herkulessaal, Munich, 5 November 1984 (4 Impromptus)
