Biret plays Brahms Study No.3 & No.4 after Bach

Brahms Five Studies, No.3 (1st version) & No.4 (2nd version) of "Presto in G minor after Bach." ~ Idil Biret (1941) Turkish pianist, manifested an outstanding gift for music at the age of 3. Hypersensitive to music as a baby, she gained the ability to hear a tune and reproduce it on the piano when she was only two. She had an uncanny ability to learn music in her mind without practicing it at the keyboard, delivering it perfectly formed to the amazement of onlookers. Her first teacher in France was the famed pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, under whose tutelage she blazed through the curriculum at the Paris Conservatory. She graduated at the age of 15 with three first prizes. She studied piano with Alfred Cortot and was a lifelong disciple of Wilhelm Kempff who considered her as her best student. Since the age of 16 Idil Biret has given concerts throughout the world with major orchestras and eminent conductors as Pierre Monteux, Joseph Keilberth, Hermann Scherchen, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, Alexander Dimitreev, Erich Leinsdorf, Rudolf Kempe, Adrian Boult, Malcolm Sargent, Charles Mackerras, Moshe Atzmon, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Andrew Davis, Anthony Wit and Aaron Copland. Idil Biret made her first tour in the then USSR in 1960 upon the invitation of Emil Gilels giving 16 concerts. Over the years she made many more visits performing nearly 100 concerts in Moscow, Leningrad and other cities in the great concert halls of the country. Her USA debut then took place in 1963 when she played a six concert series with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Erich Leinsdorf performing Sergei Rachmaninov's 3rd piano concerto. The same year she played the same concerto also with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pierre Monteux. She has played Beethoven Sonatas with Yehudi Menuhin and the Mozart Concerto for two pianos with Wilhelm Kempff. She has received Lily Boulanger Memorial, Boston; Harriet Cohen - Dinu Lipatti gold medal, London; Adelaide Ristori prize, Italy; Artistic Merit, Poland; Chevalier de l'Ordre du Mérite, France awards and has been member in the juries of many competitions including the Van Cliburn, Queen Elisabeth, Montreal, Busoni, Liszt. Over the years Idil Biret has made more than 80 records which include the world premiere recording of the transcriptions of nine Beethoven Symphonies by Franz Liszt. She also recorded the complete solo piano works and all the concertos of Chopin, Brahms and Rachmaninov. In 1995 her recording of the complete works of Chopin was awarded a "Grand Prix du Disque Chopin" prize in Poland and her Pierre Boulez three sonatas won France's Golden Diapason award. Idil Biret has also recorded the Etudes of Ligeti and the Firebird ballet musics piano transcription by Igor Stravinsky which were released in 2003.
