Contemporary album of the month:
"Even at her most artless and unaffected, she can wrench emotion out of simplicity." The Guardian / John Lewis
In reference to 'To Anatolia'

Gramophone / Jed Distler
"Yazgan’s interpretation of these compositions is simply lovely. Her heartfelt approach brings out beautiful colours from gentle and melancholic pieces. On the other hand, she engages masterfully with complex rhythms in more percussive compositions, making her performance well balanced and charming."
The WholeNote / Ivana Popovic
"Her skill and her imagination are unmistakable and admirable." MusicWeb International / Glyn Pursglove
"The sheer care evident in her playing is mesmerizing." Fanfare / Colin Clarke
"Yazgan brings to her anthology a fluent technique and the abundant fantasy.." Beyond criticism / Matthew Gurewitsch
"A journey to Anatolia, to evoke the sights and sounds of the peninsula..Yazgan does that admirably, conjuring many different colours and timbres with her playing, but she also encourages us to explore the music of these five composers." Planet Hugill / Robert Hugill
"Earnestly artistic.."
Performing Arts Monterey Bay
