"I have spent hours going through at least ten of my favorite recordings of this concerto, and this one with Idil Biret ranks right up there with the top five"
Listener

"I have spent hours going through at least ten of my favorite recordings of this concerto, and this one with Idil Biret ranks right up there with the top five...You'll be hard-pressed to find as profoundly moving a performance of this impossible piece-or so inexpensive!-as Idil Biret's on Naxos...When most pianists sound exhausted and drained at the conclusion of the Brahms, Biret finds new energy and splendor."
- Patrick Meanor Listener September/October 2001

"The two Schumann works are fine bonuses, both rendered with the same commitment and insight from soloist and orchestra. In the end, one must assess all these performances as quite extraordinary and fully competitive with the best. Sound is good, if a bit boomy in the Brahms First. At Naxos's prices potential buyers can hardly go wrong."
