| | INKPOT#65 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: AYSEGÜL SARICA Recital - 10 November 1998 |
 | | The original programme for this recital by Turkish pianist Aysegül Sarica featured three great fantasies - Bach’s Chromatic Fantasy & Fugue, the Schubert "Wanderer" Fantasy and Schumann’s Fantasy in C. This unconfirmed menu was eventually replaced by a selection of pieces by Beethoven, Grieg, Debussy, Darmar and Kodály, retaining only the Bach. |
 | | But slips and smudged chords aside, she made her individual point: that passion is a fantasy of feelings, alternately intimate and playful, as in the Andante, or a flowing torrent of argument as in the finale. |
 | | The apparent detachness of these swiftly changing moods is reflected in her preoccupation over "fantasy" — that it is the detached that are allowed to wander, and in wandering one derives the freedom to be truly lyrical. |
