“Violinist Cho-Liang Lin, with his beautiful playing, is the understated star of this programme of music for Chinese orchestra.”
“… For all the personal and musical interest I derive from Hoffman’s music on this disc, there is no doubt that, when it comes to writing for Chinese orchestra, Nai-Chun Kuan is in a class of his own… Lin exerts a gentle, lyrical and beautifully gracious presence. His tone, his control and, above all, his great sensitivity, elevate this work into something which really demands a hearing and, in this version, deserves a place among the great violin concertos coming from China.”
