Bach (1685-1750)

Description:

Idil Billet was born in Ankara, Turkey, and began studying piano at the age of 3 (the same age as Martha Argerich!). . She has achieved many great accomplishments and gained worldwide fame. This album is dedicated to the memory of Mitat Fenmen, who taught her Bach music at the age of 4. Fenmen, an excellent teacher, played her a 78 rpm record of Edwin Fischer's Prelude and Fugue in F minor from the second volume of the Mean Clavier cycle, and Bach's music has been a part of her life ever since. This Bach piece by her is characterized by a clear and strong touch with little use of the pedal. The melodic lines that emerge from time to time are interesting and seem to burn as a strange afterimage.Gould is said to have said, "I don't want to play like Fischer," but it is interesting to note that Billet, who was awakened to Bach after hearing Fischer, plays freely like Gould in a way.
