“Beside this, other recent violin concertos shrivel: this is a work that sings and soars with a visionary beauty rare in contemporary music. Against a vague, swirling background, the violinist enters on open strings. She’s tuning up for an incredible journey through Chin’s light, fantastic world, shaped as much by Far Eastern music cultures as the structures of Western tradition.”
