	INKPOT CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS : SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL PIANO FESTIVAL - Idil BIRET
		Tonight's programme was nothing less than a tour de force of piano playing, offering snippets of her vast repertoire, and if in some spots her playing was technically not up to the standards of the rest of the concert at least it was never boring.
		Biret was a prominent student of Kempff, so her playing Kempff's own transcription of Bach must have had particular authority, but I found the first two out of the three rather unsatisfactory, as if she was warming up to the keyboard.
		In spite of the long programme, Ms Biret gave an encore of Wilhelm Kempff's transcription of Handel's G-minor minuet, a crystalline performance that had none of the flaws of the Bach and which was a pleasure to listen to.

	The magic which is Idil Biret - Turkish Daily News Dec 27, 1998
		One of Turkish greatest modern pianist Idil Biret mesmerized the Ankara public with concerts at the CSO and Bilkent.
		Idil Biret also started a detailed analysis of the direct thematic relationship she discovered between Brahms' D minor 1st Concerto and Schumann's Introduction and Allegro op.
		One of the highlights of 1998 was Idil Biret's recital in August at Chopin Festival in Duszniki Poland when she played in the same hall where Chopin had given two recitals in the summer of 1826.

		Ms Idil Biret opts for a restraint performance, preferring not to indulge in emotional ostentation.
		There are moments of wistfulness and exquisite tenderness, especially (at 8:05) where the two lovers have to part as the horns interrupt to sound the military fanfare and start of battle.
		There are moments of sublime beauty in Biret's playing, and mention should be made of the PNRSO strings' heart-wrenching performance of the theme (3:15).

		Biret was a student of Alfred Corot and Wilhelm Kempff and began studying Chopin in earnest under the latter in 1958.
		I also was moved repeatedly by her playing of the lengthy third movement of the B minor, which consists of a flowing extended singing theme which owes a great deal to Chopin's interest in opera.
		Turkish pianist Idil Biret has recorded fifteen award-winning Chopin CDs for Naxos; I only have two of them at the moment, and the “Piano Sonatas”; are definitely superb, with some excellent playing (Biret was a pupil of Cortot) being unusually well-captured at the van Geest studios in Heidelberg in September 1988.

	Guardian \| Ligeti: Etudes Books 1 & 2: Idil Biret (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Ligeti's continuing series of studies is arguably the most important addition to the piano repertoire in the last half century, and recordings of the pieces are starting to proliferate.
		Though Idil Biret's accounts of the first 14 of them certainly convey the cultural allusiveness and sheer pianistic richness of the writing they do not have the precision and clarity of, for instance, Pierre-Lauren Aimard's performances.
		In the CD booklet Biret admits that she has taken liberties with Ligeti's tempo markings, some of which she regards as impossibly demanding.

	Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin: Idil Biret (piano), Nordstrom Recital Hall, Benaroya Hall, Seattle, 6.12.2005 (BJ) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		My first encounter with Biret’s playing, when I had occasion a few years ago to review her recording of the complete piano music of Brahms in a 12-CD Naxos set, left me an enthusiastic admirer of a remarkable musician who is still not as widely celebrated as she deserves.
		The hall’s American Steinway was perhaps a shade too voluminous in tone for the venue, yet Biret showed all her customary ability to deliver incisive sound and clearly delineated textures without ever descending into harshness.
		The performance of Beethoven’s “Waldstein” Sonata that followed was impressively long-lined, its architecture never compromised despite a wealth of telling detail, and Biret’s unusually deliberate tempo for the Allegretto moderato finale lent especially effective contrast to a Prestissimo coda delivered with breathtaking aplomb.

		The two books have it all - sedate trips into Ligeti's musical language, free flowing dynamic pieces, violence allied with calm (juxtaposition of emotions could be seen as a Ligeti trademark).
		Idil Biret does an exceptional job to play these etudes, especially considering Etude XIVa was composed for Nancarrow's player piano.
		It's the sort of achievement which inspires you to go further in exploring post-modern musical technique, on any instrument.
