Brahms: Quintet for Piano & Strings

Idil Biret made her first piano recordings when she was only eight years old. She walked into ORTF (French Radio and Television Broadcasting) and performed works by Couperin, Bach, Beethoven, and Debussy. Over the course of her career, she made over 80 recordings for albums, LP's, and television. The Idil Biret Archive (IBA) will bring together, as copyrights are obtained, as many of her recordings as possible. For this volume, she performs the Brahms Piano Quintet in F Minor, Op. 34, alongside the London String Quartet.
