Idil Biret Archive Edition, Vol. 16: Johannes Brahms

In November 1949, at age eight, Idil Biret entered the studios of ORTF in Paris and made her first recordings. In the following decades she made over eighty LPs and CDs – released on ten record labels – and many additional recordings for radio and television around the world. These included the complete piano works of Brahms, Chopin and Rachmaninov, as well as the Etudes of Ligeti. The Idil Biret Archive (IBA) is bringing together and issuing as many of her recordings as possible on both CD and digitally. The IBA is distributed worldwide by Naxos.
