“With her recording of the Brahms solo piano works now complete, Idil Biret has set a milestone for the 100th anniversary of the composer.”
Carsten Dürer, PIANO MAGAZINE – Germany 1997
“Brahms’ 2nd Piano Concerto demands all that an artist has to offer: powerful chords, daring leaps, pearly runs, impeccable trills and above all endurance… Only a few pianists can play this work as Idil Biret did.”
WESTDEUTSCHE ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG – Germany
“What Idil Biret displayed in Brahms’ Paganini Variations in virtuosity, musicality and instinct for sound can be described as phenomenal.”
SÄCHSISCHES TAGEBLATT DRESDEN – East Germany 1984
“Roderic von Bennigsen is a cellist, conductor, actor, philosopher, political thinker and poet. The press from Hannover to Paris celebrate him as one of the most original festival directors.”
Moritz Krull, WELT AM SONNTAG – Germany
“The aristocrat of the bow, Roderic von Bennigsen, possesses the ability to strip down cello playing to its musical essentials.”
Clarendon, LE FIGARO – France
