"A very fine performance of the Beethoven Bagatelles and some interesting excursions into contemporary byways.. very musical playing.. offers elegance, boisterousness and gravity as required, together with a scrupulous observance of every marking in the score."

"Some highly musical Mozart to add this artist's growing discography.. Zeynep has increasingly impressed me with her very musical approach to whatever she does, her refusal to personalize the music at the expense of the score.. Her textures are clear and clean, with the pedal so sparingly used that it almost seems not to be there at all.. a splendid recording. "

Après une Lecture du Dante - Fantasia quasi Sonata
Vallée d'Obermann
Sonata in B minor
"Ucbasaran is an artist who always puts the composer first, never drawing attention to herself with agogic distortions or wayward rubato. The present Liszt collection seems to me her best yet. I immediately noticed many places in the "Dante Sonata" where melodic strands are separated from their accompaniments with real pianistic mastery and there is certainly no lack of singing tone... A very fine achievement... Anyone who picks up this disc will be left in no doubt that Liszt was a composer of lofty aims and noble inspiration, a fact which some still question, including, alas, many who actually play his music."
Christopher Howell, MusicWeb, Nov'03
"In each
of the four movements of the mighty A major sonata she establishes a
tempo which allows the music to expand and express itself simply and
strongly; nothing is exaggerated or pulled out of shape. I would single
out the finale in particular as a piece of supremely musical playing;
it
just flows naturally from her fingers..This is a finely conceived,
thoroughly
Schubertian-sounding performance which rises to an exceptionally good
finale,
and the "Wanderer" is perhaps finer still..The recording is rich and
full-toned
and, as in her Liszt album, Ucbasaran provides notes that are clear and
go
straight to the point. In an age where you can easily pass for an
"original"
interpreter by disrupting the musical line and bringing out "different"
inner
voices, I can only salute pure musicianship such as Ucbasaran’s which
puts
itself at the service of the composer; this is the sort of art which is
likely
to grow while other supposed phenomena blaze and fall by the wayside. I
suspect we will gradually hear more and more from this pianist."
