Review by Adam Golightly

The album "İdil Biret Beethoven Piano Concerto No 5 Emperor Choral Fantasia" showcases the musical prowess of Idil Biret and Naci Özgüç. The album features two of Beethoven's most iconic works, the Piano Concerto No. 5 and the Choral Fantasia.

Idil Biret's performance on the piano is nothing short of spectacular. Her technical mastery and emotional depth are on full display throughout the album, particularly on the Piano Concerto No. 5. Biret's playing is both powerful and sensitive, bringing out the beauty and complexity of Beethoven's compositions.

Naci Özgüç's conducting is equally impressive. He leads the orchestra with precision and passion, creating a rich and dynamic sound that perfectly complements Biret's piano playing. The Choral Fantasia, in particular, is a standout track, with Özgüç and the orchestra providing a sweeping and majestic backdrop for Biret's virtuoso performance.
