  • “Jenny Lin’s performances seem highly idiomatic, alert to the myriad changing moods and colours of these pieces, each of which seems to encapsulate its own moment in time. I strongly recommend this recording to anyone interested in this fascination period.” – Calum MacDonald, BBC Music Magazine

    “… an education in some composers few may have heard of… and a darn good listen … Ms. Lin’s incisive playing of music that speaks for itself.” -Anne Midgette, New York Times

    “… a fascinating CD… Pianist Jenny Lin finds the poetry in their work and presents it with great sensitivity.” – Joe McLellan, Music Critic Emeritus, The Washington Post

    “As usual, Lin’s talent for creating enterprising programs is matched by intelligent musicianship, a technique that can handle anything, and a big, generous tone. The excellent annotations and engineering further seal my highest recommendation.” – Jed Distler, Classicstoday.com (rating 10/10)

    “…a formidable disc…” – Alex Ross, music critic of The New Yorker

    “… a fascinating CD… Pianist Jenny Lin finds the poetry in their work and presents it with great sensitivity.”  – Joe McLellan, Music Critic Emeritus, The Washington Post
