Soyeon Kate Lee – Press

“…Lee delivered a touching account of the hymn-like main melody.”

“Lee clearly has an affinity for Scriabin; all the composer’s impulsive fire was delivered with high energy but without overstatement, and his lyricism emerged in sweeping arcs that seemed as natural as breathing. Even better was Ravel’s La Valse, which tapped such a rich vein of color and such cumulative power that the beauties of Ravel’s more familiar orchestral version were barely missed”

“She opens with one of the clearest, most articulate and pianistically worked-out renditions of the Bach/Busoni Chaconne I’ve ever heard.”

“Her poise and command throughout Prokofiev’s Seventh Sonata are also on the highest level, especially regarding the multi-levelled textures and impressionistic half-tints she draws from the Andante caloroso. In all, an outstanding release.”

“She played with clarity, honesty and a supple yet full-bodied sound.”
