“Effortless bless…with her nearly viola-like sound, she transfigured the agitation between genius and madness in Schumann’s Violin Concerto into touching beauty”
— Frankfurter Allgemeine
“…when Kanagawa’s sound, emitting a cool tension from the beginning, in the duo with the piano in the last moment suddenly took on a burning heat, my heart was moved”
— Asahi Shimbun
