New Recording Release: Jay Zhong Plays Paganini 24 Caprices
Reviews
"Concertmaster Jay Zhong excelled in the many violin solos, smooth and sweet even in the most demanding parts, and Pollack had him take his own bows afterwards." --- RepeatPerformances,org
"In the popular tone poem "Scheherazade" by Rimsky-Korsakov, notable solos were contributed by...Jay Zhong. Zhong in particular could make his violin project strongly and soulfully from the lip of the stage, where others sometimes founder." --- ArtsSF.com
“Jay Zhong’s Virtuosity… His reading of Beethoven (was) nimble and unassuming… (His) Prokofiev (was) restrained but incisive and without the bombast that some performers find so irresistible…” ---The Washington Post
“A Chinese solar Jay Zhong dazzles… One wonders: how does he combine such vigor (without vulgarity) with such poetry?”---Le Soir, Brussels
“Sterling musicality… A golden exploration of Brahms… filled with bounty of examined technique, silky vibrato and eloquence."---Pacifica Tribune, California
