“The recordings Idil Biret made in 2012 of Schumann’s Kreisleriana, Blumenstück and Carnival de Vienne show the pianist in her best form: Majestic, accurate, clear and always poetic. The lyrical sections of the Kreisleriana are of dreamlike beauty while the fast movements are at times performed with extraordinary humour and at others with glowing passion. Truly Schumannesque.”
PIANO NEWS (Germany) 2013
“Idil Biret deservedly belongs among the most important leading musicians on the Naxos label. Her Chopin can be recognised blindfold after a few notes. I regard her Schumann -   Debussy - Tchaikovsky disc as a real jewel. Schumann's Childhood Dreams are seen through the eyes of an adult.”
KLASSIK FORUM (Germany)
“Idil Biret takes the opening movement of Schumann’s Kinderszenen very briskly and impetuously, but the performance then settles down and is sensitive and well characterized. Good recording, recommendable.”
PENGUIN GUIDE (UK)
“In 1959 Pretoria (France) entrusted the young pianist Idil Biret the recordings of Schumann’s Fantasiestücke Op. 12 and Brahms’ Intermezzi Op. 117. Thus began a recording career of extraordinary importance, which was only discovered in the West over the years. Biret is an extremely versatile performer with an assimilative capacity comparable to that of the greatest pianists. In reality, the Turkish pianist is one of them.”
RITMO (Spain) 2011
“Schumann’s Piano Concerto had a fascinating rendering by the admirable Turk Idil Biret which must be very close to that of the very first performance of the concerto by Clara Schumann in 4 December 1845.”
REUTLINGEN GENERAL-ANZEIGER (Germany) 1980

“A most exciting young pianist to come to Montreal in years. She has a personal magnetism that belongs only to a certain type of virtuoso performer, one who succeeds in hypnotizing you no matter how what he or she is playing… Miss Biret is one of the finest natural Schumann players I have ever come across. In fact I cannot recall ever hearing a better all round performance of Schumann’s Fantasiestücke in any concert hall in this city.”
