Siempre alguien es primero en algo, el talento de Biret era demasiado poderoso para los turcos y logró alcanzar su merecida fama en todo el mundo. Para mi es una de las mejores pianistas de la época presente.
What a funny comment? Why would her power be too strong for Turks?? Because of that talent a special law was passed by the governtment under her name to let her study abroadn and which later allowed many other young talented kids to study abroad. Next time read a bit about her life and importance to nation before posting a silly comment?!
@@ritorenello So thanks for respond. You are so right. I dont understand why turks seems they are not understanding or they are not good at music. It was the Turks who wanted Bartok comes here and search for his ethnomusicologic researchs, also supported Hindemith to work in Turkey. Here, composers switched to and revised modern music more quickly than in Europe. The Turkish five and the current modern composers are still alive, like İlham Mimaroğlu. This country has produced musicians such as Leyla Gencer and İdil Biret. In short, we need to break this "Turks are just meh" perception.
Peter Lunow it is so damn fast though. I feel like the left hand melodies really need to be emphasized, and at this speed they seem to get lost at times.
"As long as this woman continues to perform we cannot hope to make a career. She can play everything and play them all very well." (Alfred Brendel to Jean-Bernard Pommier in the early 1960s)
It is a great mystery... What is known is that this pianist is sometimes negligent with the musical text. Perhaps in the B flat that precedes the B natural that she plays, it is written a reminder flat, and maybe there is not another reminder flat written where she plays B natural.
she usually records in one single take. she dislikes editing. maybe she made a mistake and decided to keep with it because the overall performance was great enough to her.
she plays a GREAT Rachmaninoff ,one of greatest in my opinion
Emil Gilels considered her as the best Rach interpreter.
One of my absolute favorite pianists !
I love her interpretation of #3! I find it heart healer!
she captures the mood perfectly

the way she plays # 4 is out of this world!

I think the same! It is magical!
Its 7 years later that I read my comment about #4. I am horrified(...): it is #3 that is out of this world...God, I am embarrassed!!
@@bosshossredsox I made a mistake.... I meant #3 ! I totally agree with you about #4 !
well... but her no. 4 is amazing too! her polyphony is so clear here, even clearer than on slower versions (Bosendorfer piano helps though)
Wonderful!! Among the very best.
The rubato in g minor is just to die for... especially the two lines starting at 20:05, and the tone. She is a genius
Thanks for uploading this. She has a nice rhythmic sense with the op 33 no 1 etude.
Beautiful interpretation!!!!!

AMAZING recording of the etudes.
Beautiful !
Well done!
Great! I´m flying :))
Anyone know why she uses a B natural instead of Bb on the last page of the g minor at the 21:15 mark?
It is a great mystery... What is known is that this pianist is sometimes negligent with the musical text.
Perhaps in the B flat that precedes the B natural that she plays, it is written a reminder flat, and maybe there is not another reminder flat written where she plays B natural.
I have to admit that I love the semi-diminished arpeggio derived from playing B natural... I like it better than playing B flat.
she usually records in one single take. she dislikes editing. maybe she made a mistake and decided to keep with it because the overall performance was great enough to her.
@@Sujkhgfrwqqnvf Yeah I've decided to use the B-natural myself lol. I can't imagine Rachmaninoff getting too cranky about it...
