"Even at her most artless and unaffected, she can wrench emotion out of simplicity."   


In reference to ​'To Anatolia'

"A high level of thought, care and commitment.." Gramophone
 
"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 

"Her skill and her imagination are unmistakable and admirable." MusicWeb International

"The sheer care evident in her playing is mesmerizing." Fanfare 

"Yazgan brings to her anthology a fluent technique and the abundant fantasy.." Beyond Criticism

"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 

"Earnestly artistic.."  Performing Arts Monterey Bay
