Beethoven: Piano Sonatas, Piano Concertos, Symphonies (arr. F. Liszt for piano)

Bilkent Symphony Orchestra, Biret, Idil, Wit, Antoni

8.501901

“From the outset of the 1st Symphony one feels that Idil Biret grasps the size of Beethoven’s style. The polyphony is laid out in a relaxed way with little indulgence in point-making. She keeps her big line, and yet is thankfully sparing in her use of fortissimos…The piano tone is sumptuous. Biret’s gentle and almost sensuous sonorities are really captivating…This is a remarkable achievement.” • Gramophone (UK) / J. Methuen-Campbell
