ACCOLADES
© 2009 Siow Lee Chin
“Lee-Chin has the knack for getting under the skin of the music
to the extent that you’d swear she is Hungarian when playing
Monti’s zesty ‘Csardas’, Viennese when playing Kreisler’s ‘La
Gitana’, American when playing Still’s saucy, jazzy ‘Gamin’,
and Chinese (which she is) when playing the hauntingly
evocative ‘Fisherman’s Song at Sunset’.”
American Record Guide
“This is artistry of the highest level. Highly recommended to
all, not just those with an interest in violin music.”
Fanfare Magazine 2009 “Want List”, USA
“Lee-Chin has the ability to free the voice of her instrument,
and send its soul out to intoxicate the listener.”
John Brunning, presenter
Classic FM, UK
“This is truly a nice record: bravo!”
François Paré, Directeur des programmes
Radio-Classique, Canada
“This recording is a labour of love
from a national treasure – a
testament to a uniquely gifted
musician.”

“artists at the pinnacle of their craft”
The Post & Courier, USA
“There’s warmth, playfulness,
melancholy and happiness all
rolled into the pieces on this
album, and Lee-Chin’s soaring
melodies are given a great foil
with accompaniment provided
by Albert Tiu.”
TODAY, Singapore
“What distinguishes Lee-Chin
is her lovely, warm and effusive tone…this peach of a disc…
should be in every music-lover’s collection.”
The Straits Times, Singapore
“it’s easy to see why music critics have used words like
‘flawless,’ ‘spellbinding’ and ‘electrifying’ to describe the
sounds coming from her strings.”
CHARLIE, USA
