"In fact, the virtues of this album are an almost exact foil to Bartoli's; where the Italian mezzo is often close to being over the top - delightfully so, I add - the young soprano Korean's singing is a model of the kind of understatement that nevertheless makes its point ... The two closing items, by Korean composers, seem tailor made for the voice - but, then, so does everything else on this gem of a recording ... Sensitive but positive singing benefits from - and receives - a sensitive but positive accompaniment ... My enjoyment of a first recital recording from someone from whom I want to hear much more".
