"She masterfully navigates the cadenza of the first movement and intonates with exceptional precision, even in the higher register. She seamlessly aligns with Matthew Halls' 'historically informed' approach, producing a refined and lean tone."

"She played the solo part with both lively spirit and refined tone — classically beautiful in the best sense of the word. The slow movement was tender and heartfelt, while the outer movements were full of vibrant freshness."
