“Ms Angela Chan shows that she has a very special charisma, made of natural sensibility and high level control of sound. She achieves to bring all her skills into a global expression which expresses a variety of colors and a great diversity of characters. She knows how take good risks…With no hurry, she constantly brings fresh and personal ideas. The quality of sound is amazing, especially the high notes which have a special richness…Technically speaking, every aspect is perfectly under control, without any rigor. Poetry, elegance, charm, breathing phrases: every aspect of her interpretation shows that she is a great artist… She perfectly knows how to express the synthesis of western and eastern culture.
-Emmanuel Hondré
