reception

“What this second movement requires is the sense of desolate introspection and withdrawal that is present in abundance in the recent version of the Concerto, by the young German violinist Suyoen Kim. […] But the Concerto's most insightful recording comes, astonishingly, from one of the youngest groups of performers: the supremely eloquent and marvelously poised German violinist Suyoen Kim, with Pietari Inkinen making his chamber-sized band obey every last nuance in the score, will bring tears to the eyes of all but the hardened listener. Hartmann's times were such that he could not waste effort on music that did not matter: the "Concerto funèbre" is intense, serious, a powerful musical encapsulation of the pity of war, loss, shame and anger. Suyoen Kim's version is worthy of this essential 20th-century masterpiece. "

- Piers Burton-Page , BBC Music Magazine February 2006

“Suyoen Kim plays with the technical brilliance and musical maturity that have already brought her, at the age of 18, to the attention of conductors like Kurt Mazur and Seiji Ozawa. The Mozart is full of charm, played with an alluring warmth of tone, a nice sense os scale and fluid melodic lines. Hartmann's Suite is in four short movements, it was written in 1927 and is very much of its time, with its jazzy finale and a feeling that Stravinsky's soldier is not far away. Suyoen Kim dispatches its pyrotechnics with ease, and weaves its melodies with sensitivity and assurance. The “Concerto funèbre”, also of its time, is much darker work, which mostly eschews showy virtuosity in favor of extendes melodic lines - halting and fragmented in the slow movement, wide-reaching and impassioned in the third. Suyoen Kim plays with fluency and occasional high drama. In the tragic finale she is affecting and beautiful, like a bleak counterpart to Vaughan William's lark. "
