Critical acclaim for artist
 

"Chee-Yun has not only extraordinary talent, but the poise and natural self-confidence of a seasoned veteran and born performer. Her technique is brilliant and utterly secure, her tone like butter, smooth, rich and flawless."

Strings

"This is a talented instrumentalist, with the kind of high-gloss tone that pulls sensuously at the listener’s ear."

The New York Times

"Chee-Yun’s Mendelssohn, full of sparkle and imagination, goes readily to the top of the list of recommended versions. Her tone is sweet and full, her playing wonderfully polished, her feeling for Mendelssohn’s line and phrase quite extraordinarily sure… utterly magical."

•Gramophone

"The familiar opening measures of the Mendelssohn Concerto are so passionate and musically engaged as to leave a listener awestruck…"

San Francisco Examiner

"Chee-Yun stands out among most of her contemporaries for beauty of sound, engaging musicality and easy command of the instrument."

•Billboard

"Available space will not let me describe the charm of Chee-Yun."

Washington Post

"Chee-Yun reveals a warm tone and a poetic way of phrasing. She is a real artist." •Stereo Review

"This was music making that went directly from her very inner soul to the depths of our own emotions…Even more impressive than her full, round sound and perfect technique, was her interpretation which suggests a life experience much longer and deeper than her age."

The Jerusalem Post

"Chee-Yun has the right blend of elegance and virtuosity… The best violin sonata disc in recent memory."

Classic CD

"To hear this brilliant young violinist play -anything- is to immediately become a fan, and want to hear more."
