Paris: La Lettre du Musicien “Memoir of Dong-Hak is fully convincing. This masterfully orchestrated quintet makes every soloist radiate, and ends in a particularly bright lyrical way, after a very tense performance, …freeing herself from the rules and traditions of the European (Classical) Music…” Laurent Vilarem
