I have never heard anyone butcher Rachmaninoff's compositions as terribly as Idil Biret. After listening to her rendition of the Variations on a Theme of Corelli, (which was a colossal failure to say the least) I decided to give her another chance. What a mistake I made. Her phrasing on the first Nocturne absolutely destroys the music, as you can tell she has no ability whatsoever to phrase Romantic style music. The extremely choppy and staccato style is NOT how you play Rachmaninoff. Someone needs to take this woman's piano away from her. If you would like to listen to Rachmaninoff without getting a headache, I highly recommend Santiago Rodriguez, his interpretations are incredible.
