		Chin describes the diverse influences on her composition as ranging from the Christian hymns she "was forced to accompany" at her father's church to Korean shaman rituals in a small town to the jazz and pop she heard growing up in Seoul in the '70s.

	Dukas, Chin, R. Strauss Viviane Hagner (violin); BBC Symphony Orchestra/Martyn Brabbins. Barbican Hall, Friday, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Chin is a composer with an acute ear and, possibly more importantly, she is utterly uncompromising about preserving the integrity of her musical thought.
		In her pre-concert discussion, Chin said, ‘My music is a reflection of my dreams’ … if that sounds a bit Takemitsuesque, then perhaps that is not a million miles from the truth.
		Yet – and it is a big ‘yet’ - there is more grit in Chin’s writing, more of a challenge to both performer and listener, and it is this that makes the experience of her music so exciting.

	Classical Net Review - Chin/Boulez - Akrostichon-Wortspiel, etc./Le Marteau sans Maître, Dérive 1& 2
		Born in 1961, Unsuk Chin is a relative youngster compared to Boulez, who is now (venerably) in his eighties.
		In fact, Unsuk Chin seems as eager to reconcile the timbres of the soloists and the ensemble as she is to oppose them.
		Here, Unsuk Chin adds electronic sounds to her acoustic ensemble, and much of the piece's interest lies not in the contrasts between timbres but it the similarities between them.

	The Green Head - Shopping : Music Shop - Unsuk Chin: Akrostichon-Wortspiel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Unsuk Chin studied in the late 1980s with Gyorgy Ligeti, and the influence of the "later Ligeti" is very clear in her compositions.
		Chin's music preserves the same sense of whimsy as Ligeti in his "Nonsense Madrigals", and the same fascination with polyrhythms as the Hungarian composer's "Piano Concerto" and other late works.
		Comment: Unsuk Chin left Seoul to began her studies with Ligeti in 1985, and the earliest of the four compositions on this DG 20/21 disc is from 1991/1993 -- nonetheless, we can consider her to be a new voice, given that this is her first recording.

		Chin's palette is her distinctive strength — like Monet among the haystacks, she details exquisitely her narrowly-defined subjects.

		In a world that likes to classify for comfort, Chin's creations can be compared to those of Thomas Ades, Ligeti, and Salonen in that she expands the aural vocabulary of both instrumentalists and vocalists.
		The visual aspect of Chin's music enhances the joy as she asks the performers to interact as though an opera were being staged.
		Chin's other works on this splendid CD are of equal fascination: the 'Fantaisie m?canique, for 5 instrumentalists' (Patrick Davin conducts this one), 'Xi, for electronic ensemble' (with David Robertson conducting), and 'Double Concerto for piano, percussion & ensemble' (Samuel Favre and Dimitri Vassilakis are the adroit soloists and the conductor is Stefan Asbury).

		The Violin Concerto of Korean-born composer Unsuk Chin is such a work, and its overdue U.S. premiere in Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall on Monday night, courtesy of Kent Nagano and the Berkeley Symphony, was enough to win over even the most stubborn resisters.
		In the first movement, Chin follows the classic model of the Berg Violin Concerto by building the solo part around the interval of the fifth, the characteristic sound of the instrument's open strings.
		Chin's concerto was the centerpiece of a superb season opener that also included music of Bach, Beethoven and a non-Brahmsian B, the Englishman George Benjamin.

		Unsuk Chin was one of the more worthy recent recipients of the prestigious Grawemeyer Award, when her Violin Concerto carried it off last year.
		Born (in 1961) in Korea, Chin first studied there before moving to Hamburg to work with Ligeti, and it's his fastidious ear for sonority and delight in the unexpected that characterise Chin's best music too.
		The earliest work on this disc is perhaps her best known, the 1991 atomised fairy-tale settings of Akrostichon-Wortspiel, while the Double Concerto for prepared piano and percussion from 2002, with its disconcerting juxtaposition of eastern and western sound worlds, is the most recent.
