About

Idil Biret first made a professional recording in 1959 performing works by Brahms and Schumann. That moment led to a 60-year recording career. These critically-acclaimed recordings won many awards, including the Grand Prix du Disque Frederic Chopin and Diapason d’Or. Selections include solo piano works of Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin and Rachmaninov, as well as chamber works by Schumann and Hindemith, and concertos by J.S. Bach, Grieg, Mozart and Tchaikovsky. This release continues the celebration of both Idil Biret’s 75th anniversary and her epic career on the concert stage over the last 70 years.
