September 2013
Performed to extraordinary perfection by Weiping Lin… The violin opens up a whole range of subtle graduations unique to itself including double-stopped incremental glissandos and microtonality. Engaged and engaging’ Lin is completely in control of both of these diametrically opposed styles to the point that I’d recommend this disc to anyone
September 2013
Agile performances of Scelsi’s early divertimentos, slipping in and out of their references to Romanticism and folk music with ease and wit. Her vibrato is clean and responsive and her phrasing immaculate, and she’s a passionate advocate for all the disc’s varied music.
