REVIEW! THE CLARINET Magazine / September 2018 Issue

Add some more info about this item...

"This recording is a series of beautiful works in which the star recordings are not the standards of the repertoire, but the more modern original works that are sure to be a delight to clarinetists looking for something new to perform. Lee's approach to the clarinet is unique and uncompromising, and her love for lyricism and romanticism is clear."  Amanda McCandless

"Last night, Seunghee Lee opened Charles R. Hale’s 2018 series “Thoroughly New York.” She was an unequivocal success....

REVIEW! AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE May/June 2018 Issue

Add some more info about this item...

Lee also offers some tuneful contemporary contributions, namely ‘Executive’ by Italian composer Michele Mangani, ‘Romance’ by Danish composer Bent Sorensen, ‘Coming Home’ by American composer Augusta Gross, and the Suite from The Victorian Kitchen Garden by the late British composer Paul Reade. The concert is well played. Lee has a pleasant, woody sound, expressive phrasing, and reliable fingers and articulation, and Gislinge adds great skill, clarity, and sensitivity… American Record Guide – May/June 2018, p.182

DELIGHT OF THE WEEK_WSCL RADIO

Add some more info about this item...

"My Delight of the Week!  One of the difficult pleasures of my job is having to listen to many, many new releases, and then choosing a delight from amongst a selection of wonderful and often incredibly varied CDs.  Seunghee Lee is an artist whose work I simply enjoy.  She simply gets out of the way and makes beautiful music for us (amply aided by pianist Evan Solomon).  Her previous CD has been a staple of our playlist, and this CD, with a continuation of well-loved, "timeless classic" works is simply more of the same, in the best possible way.  While many of our listeners enjoy a challenge from time to time, the majority of our listeners simply want to hear and enjoy beautiful music.  Here it is - again!"

SOLACE-HEALING THROUGH MUSIC

Add some more info about this item...

"When tragedy strikes our lives, time doesn’t heal wounds. Words of condolence are not enough to alleviate the painful heart, but once we start surrendering our wounded hearts to the magical beauty of music, we may just be able to find solace from within…Structured around 5 stages of grieving ( Denial, Depression, Anger, Bargaining, Acceptance), SOLACE is a personal musical healing project I created to pay tribute to my father, whose life was taken away in senseless gun violence on the south side of Chicago. May the power of music bring us comfort and healing and enable us to seek compassion, forgiveness, appreciation, and love for one another. Let's spread MUSIC and LOVE, not bullets and hatred, and make this world a better place..."

"Lovely and mostly rewarding collection of “easy listening” clarinet....Korean born Seunghee Lee is a very refined and talented artist with a pleasant tone and facile technique. There is much to admire in her playing and in looking at her training resume this is not a surprise. Lee grew up in Chicago and studied with many of the country’s great clarinetists including David Shifrin, Charles Neidich, George Silfies and John Bruce Yeh, to name but a few..."

FROM COMPETITION TO COMPASSION Competition to Compassion by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold

Add some more info about this item...

“I’ve gone from competitive to compassionate,” acclaimed clarinetist Seunghee Lee says simply.  When I was young it was all about winning competitions and pushing myself always to do better than I had done yesterday. I felt that I needed to prove again and again my musical abilities. And by doing that, I was getting in the way of the music and not letting it flow through me. By taking some time off, I was able to realize what it is I really want in life...."

"There is a hidden place in our soul where the deepest desires lie. The dreams, that maybe have not yet taken shape, nor an idea of direction, but nonetheless, they are there, pushing to take flight. To give wings to these dreams, one “must persevere, believe in them and work hard, so that they will materialize.” -BY LUCIA MARUZELLI/Mind the Gap HK 

FANFARE REVIEW: HIDDEN TREASURE CD

Add some more info about this item...

"Her tone is unabashedly romantic and expressive at the same time that her choice of styles varies sufficiently to demonstrate the incredible range of her clarinet, as well as her own dazzling technique. Lee is able to coax from her instrument a vast palette of emotions and voices and to imbue her sound with a human timbre. She possesses a lush, velvety tone, a breathtaking legato, an unerring feel for cantabile phrasing, at the same time that she is the master of clarity of articulation and virtuosic ornamentations..."
