“...Virtuosity of the musicians and in particular of the pianist Baturay Yarkın, whose play is not without reminding of Azeri pianists like Shahin Novrasli or Isfar Sarabski.” Jacques Pauper, co-founder of couleurs jazz radio at zebrajazz
“Yarkın has a strong sense of melody, the ability to tell melodies simply and the ability to depict allegorically. This gives him a competent expressive power.”
Feridun Ertaşkan, founder of cazkolik, editor and writer
