"Both players were terrific. Xu's fiddling featured spotless finger and bow technique, a keen feel for dramatic flair, and a big, sturdy tone free of forcing. Choi was a more than equal partner at the keyboard. His sound was lively and lucid, his digital work was immaculate, and his shaping of material showed insightful articulation of phrase and voicing."
-- New Music Connoisseur

"Guest artist Minghuan Xu followed with a lovely refined rendition of Max Bruch's popular violin concerto...
Xu showed impressive technique, passion, and intensity. And again warmth was the key word..."
-- Oak Ridge Observer

"Pianist Choi was also the urbane sophisticate. Here and elsewhere, he was the musical partner of a soloist's dreams, the sensitive, can-do facilitator you'd always want at your side."
-- Palm Beach Post

"Choi is an intellectual when it comes to music. It mnifests itself in his handling of musical forms and of composers' styles and wishes. Xu is spontaneous, rhapsodic and romantic. Together, it is a wonderful dynamic."
- Victor Yampolsky, conductor
