'Miss Biret was soloist in an entrancing performance of Mozart's concerto K. 482 with the Manchester Hallé Orchestra conducted by Mlle Nadia Boulanger. The variety of her playing it's finely-shaded gradations and brilliant but never mechanical figurations, revealed her as already a remarkable artist. Not for many hears has a Hallé audience heard such perfectly balanced Mozart playing... No words can describe the wondrous finale, with it's mixture of gaiety and anguish. This was a performance in which every note counted for it's full value.' (DAILY TELEGRAPH (UK) 1963) 'I recently returned from a five week conducting tour... In Turkey Idil Biret was my soloist in a Mozart Concerto (K. 595). What a fine artist she is.'
