"Scored for the same orchestral forces as Firebird,
Koh did not attempt to imitate or recreate the Russian's style.
Instead her tone poem was a wholly original essay reflecting a
mysterious sound world on the threshold of tonality...
which all made for an atmospheric and satisfying appetiser for the ballet's main course."

- Chang Tou Liang, The Straits Times



"Emily Koh’s beautifully eerie [circum]-perceptio,
built in layers of delicate string, piano and woodwind timbres,
was another highlight of the Signal program.

- Allan Kozinn, New York Times
