"No doubt remained as soon as the piano began to reverberate: On the stage was a first class musician and a maestro. A complete freedom went hand in hand with Idil Biret’s interpretations. One has the feeling that she plays as easily as she breathes. The art of Idil Biret gives joyand emotion.’ – SOVIETSKAIA KULTURA, Moscow USSR 1960 ‘For well versed insiders of music, Idil Biret is since years a trusted, respected and beloved artist. Her Scriabin, Bartók and Prokofiev interpretations are exemplary classical benchmarks. The discipline of her powerful grasp and approach of the music has led, especially for works of our century, to a stylistic congruence between the written score and the interpretation, which makes us all aware of an outstanding artistic potency of the highest standards of excellence!’ – DIE WELT, Germany 1979"
