Violist

"Yue Yu and Anthony Hewitt give splendid performances that hold their own even alongside those terrific displays by Lawrence Power and Simon Crawford-Phillips (Hyperion, 9/08).

 An excellent album, this, definitely worth investigating." © 2023 Gramophone

"Yue Yu beeindruckte durch ihr intuitives Musizieren. Sie hatte stets den Blick auf das Ganze und wusste das Werk spannungsgeladen und klangreich zu gestalten."

 "Here’s an interesting and variegated disc of 20th-century British viola repertoire. …Yue is well equipped in her own right; her account of the opening Melody for the C-String is [Lawrence] Power’s equal in sound and suavity." © 2023 Fanfare
