CHOPIN, F.: Waltzes Nos. 1-19 / Ecossaises, Op. 72 / Tarantelle, Op. 43 (Biret)
“Any complete set of Chopin’s piano works on CD is important. With world-class playing it’s remarkable. And at [bargain price] it’s astonishing. Who’s inspiring the superlatives – Ashkenazy, Pogorelich, Pollini? No: Idil Biret.” – Classic CD
“She is Turkish, from Ankara, … In 15 discs she makes a voyage through the entire work of Chopin, including the least known pieces, with a sharpened technique, fully blooming lyricism and minimised emotional outpouring.” – La Croix
“Enjoyable and idiomatic, unhurried yet alive and alert to the innumerable incidental beauties of these scores.” – Gramophone
