"My favourite disciple is Idil Biret...This genius pianist belongs to the class of elect musicians of our time."
- Wilhelm Kempff

"The complete Chopin set by Idil Biret can stand among the highest echelons of contemporary Chopin playing."

piano of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, as Idil Biret did."
- Donald Henahan (New York Times/USA)

"The distinguished pianist Idil Biret shows herself to be one of the finest exponents of Chopin's Concertos
in the world today. I cannot think of any competitor who can offer better performances than these."
- Tully Potter (Gramophone-Classics/UK)

"Idil Biret, this great pianist, who in 1986 victoriously launched an assault on Liszt's transcription
of Beethoven's nine symphonies, does it again today by playing Chopin in its entirety in a breathtaking
interpretation."
- Henry-Louis de la Grange (Nouvelle Observateur/France)

"The brilliant pianist Idil Biret has recorded the complete works of Chopin...a masterful interpretation."

"Idil Biret's touch reminds us of Cortot and Kempff."
- Karl Schumann (Suddeutsche Zeitung/Germany)

"Idil Biret was giving a rare performance of Boulez's 2nd piano sonata. Her way with the piece was astonishing.
This was a gripping, impressive account of a commanding score."
