"Fung’s playing is first rate… and it is a pleasure to listen to her play."
— American Record Guide, Sang Woo Kang, May-June 2020
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Thanks to her light, clear, and articulate touch, Fung gives breath to the melodies, the virtuosic passages, and the sharp patterns, while keeping their pronounced character.”
— Scena Musicale, Benjamin Gordon, April-August 2020
“Fung, ... was supremely impressive with her ability to seemingly have her fingers float over the keys; each note seemed to waft into the air like a gentle breeze.”
— Arts & Opinion, Nancy Snapper, 2013
« Le jeu de Fung est de premier ordre… et c'est un plaisir de l'écouter. »
— American Record Guide, Sang Woo Kang, Mai-Juin 2020
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
« Grâce à son toucher aéré, limpide et détaché, Fung fait respirer mélodies, traits virtuoses et motifs acérés tout en leur conservant un caractère prononcé. »
— Scena Musicale, Benjamin Gordon, Avril-Août 2020
« Son habileté à sembler laisser flotter ses doigts au-dessus des touches est suprêmement impressionnante, chacune des notes semble être une bouffée d’air aussi légère qu’une brise. Son doigté romantique évoque les sonorités d’Arthur Rubinstein. »
— Arts & Opinion, Nancy Snapper, 2013
