Yeşim Gökalp

Yeşim Gökalp is a Turkish pianist known for her focus on promoting and preserving Turkish music, particularly piano works. Many of her albums feature compositions by Turkish composers, both contemporary and historical, introducing listeners to a rich musical heritage. She also champions Turkish folk melodies, arranging and performing them for the piano. Beyond her dedication to Turkish music, Gökalp also explores the Western classical repertoire, as evidenced by her recordings of Robert Schumann's works.

Gökalp's recordings often have an educational component, like her albums of children's pieces and explorations of specific composers or themes within Turkish music. This suggests a passion for sharing her love of music and fostering appreciation for a wide range of styles. Her albums like "Kırsallardan Ezgiler" (Melodies from the Countryside), "Türk Çocuk Parçaları" (Turkish Children's Pieces), and "Kuşaktan Kuşağa Türk Bestecileri" (Turkish Composers from Generation to Generation) highlight this commitment to showcasing the diversity and beauty of Turkish musical traditions.
