Virtuoso Schubert / Zeynep

Editorial Reviews
American Record Guide
A noteworthy first record. She expresses a sustained romanticism, shaped by a sensitivity that knows its own limits

Ying Chang, The Classical Source
A well-played and extremely musical Liszt recital. The programme is varied and interesting, the recording full and natural.
