Turkish pianist Korkmaz Can Sağlam has been praised for the “maturity of his interpretations and the seeming effortlessness with which they’re realized” (Textura).
He is the Grand Prize winner of the 2021–2022 Vendome Prize for Piano, where he also received the CD Recording Prize and the Audience Prize.
"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. "
