 Chung at her best
By P. Rah
This is only the second recital disc she has done (the first was ‘Con amore’ in 1987). Chung is at her best here, warm and fiery at the same time – unlike just the impulsive Chung of 20 years ago. Ever since the late 1980s, her playing suffered from an uncertainty in the technique and expression – burnout maybe?. Anyway, since the middle of 1990s. her playing blossomed into a warmer, more ‘pleasant’ playing. Still fiery, but as I said, warm. And this disc shows Chung at her peak. She fully realsised the different facets of emotions the pieces can convey to the listener. Listen to ‘Tambourin chinois’ she really captures that ‘Oriental feel’ about the piece (very Viennese at the same time too) – I am Korean, so I know about these things (except for that Viennse thing!)! The whole disc is a pleasure to listener and I recommend every bit of this disc to anyone interested in Chung’s playing. Buuuuuuuuuuuuy it!

Heavenly beauty
By A
My only regret for this recording is that Chung chose to record only the fifth movement of Stravinsky. I recently heard her playing the whole five movements of Stravinsky’s Duo Concertante. I hope someday soon she will record the all five movements of Stravinsky. This Souvenir album is a beauty of beyond description.

Really beautiful.
By A
I’ve always loved her music . . . and I enjoy this album very much. I bought another one of hers (Vivaldi CD) which came out very recently (like last year or this year) [....]
Anyway, I love the Vivaldi CD even more. It’s really superb. It calms you down while at the same time motivates and excites you from the bottom of your heart. She’s a great artist.
