"Young-Ah Tak delivered an uncommonly graceful, reflective version of Chopin's Nocturne in F-Major, Op.15, then ignited fireworks aplenty for the Tarantella from Liszt's "Venezia a Napoli." Here, she never slipped into the show-off mode heard so often. There were vivid contrasts of tone and tempo, with her technique secure enough to allow a few well-considered liberties, but she never compromised the composer's ideas. The finale was a thrilling blend of fury and finesse."

"Young-Ah Tak ventured into the 20th century with a twelve-tone work by fellow Korean, Isang Yun.
