'Resurrecting works heard in eighteenth-century Scotland and Ireland is one of his specialities, and the group he leads proves to be quite convincing in this task.'

'Wong is an exciting young pianist with an impressive ability to delineate contrapuntal lines ... it's well-executed, and it's clearly intriguing.'
