Emily Sun – SMH 2024
April 17, 2020 Sarah Wade

“Sydney-born violinist Emily Sun, now based in London, played Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor with a full, radiant sound – silvery and gleaming in the upper register and with a rewarding density and bite in the middle, without losing clarity or polish. She started reflectively and simply as though collecting thoughts while improvising across the strings before launching into the stormy main theme so beloved of violinists with spirited defiance …The slow movement had warmth and humility while the third returned to the glowing resonance of the first, propelled with healthy vitality and spirit.”[4.5 STARS]
