“Cynthia Lee Wong is courteously bold and resolved to attain great success. She is determined to embrace not only the avant-garde audience but all classical enthusiasts or indeed all music lovers…Shamelessly beautiful is this music [of hers], free of all preconceptions of the old avant-gardists, entirely dedicated to the moment.” (Three Portraits, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra)
- Süddeutsche Zeitung
“[A] piece with impressive energy and drive.” (String Quartet No. 1, Tanglewood Music Festival)
- The Boston Globe
“[Wong’s] three songs, in an extravagant variety of sound, betray a rich compositional talent.”
(On Baldness and Other Songs, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra)
