"What can be said of Liu Fang's pipa and guzheng recital in Paris? A veritable feast for the ears, eyes, heart and soul ... " -Prof Dr Tran Van Khe "...this virtuoso, who in playing becomes the very soul of her instrument and whose technical prowess has listeners melt into the music ... " -Radio-France "... If the power of Samson lay in his hair, that of Liu Fang is indisputably in her fingers! ..." -Critics "...She seems to have arrived at a tacit understanding with the pipa so that the music plays itself out from this union as does a pure drama project itself through an actor - so completely that the player is fully consumed by the art. Liu Fang's music is indeed the soul of its drama, ..." - Gabriel Safdie " ...Liu Fang’s performance of some traditional pieces may have even chocked some rock'n'roll guitarists by its force, rapidity and effects..."
