"There's much to recommend about Sağlam's rendition of the opening “Allegro Moderato,” from the oceanic swells coursing through it to his phrasing choices and his segues between introspection and exuberance. - Sağlam's artful handling of the hushed “Lento” is no less striking. The sprawling, fourteen-minute “Allegro Molto” matches the opening movement for impact, with the listener again riveted by the pianist's command during this expansive travelogue."

"Sağlam approaches the score with a particular vitality, always clearly focused throughout the myriad technical complexities. "
