Danbi Um

Utterly dazzling, a marvelous show of superb technique.

The Strad

Mesmerizing grace

New York Classical Review

Her sound is all sorts of gorgeous. Her leaps on the G and E strings feel exhilarating. I listened once and immediately wanted to hear the disc again.

American Record Guide

The album showcases the violinist’s rich, singing tone, plasticity of phrasing, virtuoso technique, and charm. Danbi Um possesses all these gifts, and she lavishes them upon the various pieces with impressive artistry, and keen enthusiasm.

Fanfare

This disc is a joy for the welcome surprise it brings, not only in its selection of pieces but Um’s crack performance. The violinist’s playing is youthful, brimming with vitality, and a robust presentation. Um has arrived.

WMR

Very attractive program … sweet tone and fervent feeling … stellar performances … brilliant

Stringendo

Technically assured and passionate … there’s always a good feeling for the shape and direction of the melodic lines
