Reviews:
"Chung dispatches her souvenirs with endearing candor and a refreshing lack of affectation. The Four Romantic Pieces are intimate and lightly brushed... Szymanowski’s fragrant Nocturne sings to a shimmering accompaniment, recalling Roxana’s exotic vocal lines in King Roger, though there’s an upbeat, quasi-Spanish central section and a highly flammable Tarantella to follow that puts the excellent Itamar Golan through his pace. Stravinsky is represented by the wistful Dithyrambe’ from his Duo concertant, played with an appropriate sense of stillness, and Bach by an expressive account of the ubiquitous Air from the Third Orchestral Suite. It’s nice to have Rachmaninov’s Op.6 pieces on board, the first sounding like a near-relation of Schumann’s D minor Piano Trio, the second a racy Hungarian Dance’ - performed here with genuine swagger. Beau soir is suitably smoky, Le petit Ane blanc suavely charming and Golan’s perky playing 4’06 into Zigeurnerweisen confirms that he is no mere’ accompanist. With excellent sound and a generous playing time, this disc makes for a relaxing and at times extremely rewarding listening experience." - Gramophone
