"Yui takes my breath away every time I hear her enter through that portal onto hallowed ground."
Jerry Dubins, "Fanfare" (Nov./Dec. 2014)
“A disciple of Byron Janis, [.....] author of a doctoral thesis on “The Life of Marie Pleyel”, also a lecturer, Lisa Yui is a musical phenomenon!"
S.F., “Pianiste" (Sep.-Oct. 2011)
“Yui has a seemingly effortless brilliance of technique, and evenness and precision of articulation, allied to expressive phasing and unostentatious rubato.....”
- EPTA Journal
"Lisa Yui offers us outstanding interpretations and presentations of these sonatas. . . . These performances. . . immediately strike you with its clarity of articulation, the flexibility of the notes. . . . In simple gestures, she clearly reveals the polyphony but with an overall dramatic sense (sonatas "Moonlight" and "Appassionata"). No phrase is aggressive, and this classical lyricism, anti-theatrical almost, is as effective as it is musical. Those who wish to learn more about these works will find included in this video precious help in the commentary."
