"A personable and polished alliance from Chung and Detroit."
Gramophone

"Kyung Wha Chung is a formidable player ... consistently bright and rich, tonally integrated from top to bottom and of a really big expressive range."
Gramophone

"This is a magic, sparkling performance full of Mendelssohnian grace, too often missing in heavyweight virtuoso readings."
Gramophone

"Kyung Wha Chung favours speeds faster than usual in all three movements, and the result is sparkling and happy, with the lovely slow movement fresh and songful, not at all sentimental... the result is one of Chung's Happiest records."
