"Throughout Byun’s intonation has a pleasing exactitude, while the articulation of her right hand is a joy to hear. A disc not to be missed."
- David's Review Corner
"A very beautiful disc. From the first notes of the “Gallarda” from Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Escarraman, we are treated to extraordinary musicianship, technical assurance, and beauty of sound...Prepare for surprises—of the good kind."
- Soundboard Magazine

"Byun’s interpretation enlivens them with creative phrasings, articulations, spacing, and dynamics, which take the listener beyond most performances I have heard.”
