“Idil Biret’s new Liszt album prompts a reappraisal of her extraordinary talent…In her Liszt Sonata…you will hear playing of a formidable power and assurance…There is no mistaking her lightning reflexes in the second of the Paganini Etudes and her vivo in the imitation sautillé bowing of No. 4 would make even Heifetz envious. Biret’s brilliant, iron-clad Steinway is well recorded and…in her Liszt, there is stunning proficiency and a forbidding manner very much her own.” GRAMOPHONE UK - 2011
The Idil Biret Archive, distributed by Naxos, has already supplied me many pleasurable listening hours…Excellent and quite enjoyable performances of the Liszt sonata along with good filler pieces…This is not just another recording of Liszt’s masterly sonata, but a mature, probing interpretation that doesn’t miss any incarnation of the main motives or lack the technical abilities to bring them out…If it were a concert recording, it would rank alongside the best I have ever heard… AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE USA - 2011
