Described as "superb" by The New York Times, violinist Tai Murray has established herself as a musical voice of a generation.
"Technically flawlessvivacious and scintillatingIt is without doubt that Murray's style of playing is more mature than that of many seasoned players; and, with a debut record this outstanding, it can safely be assumed that she will exceed many expectations she's certainly exceeded mine."
(Francesca Treadaway, Muso Magazine)
Appreciated for her elegance and effortless ability, Murray creates a special bond with listeners through her mature phrasing and subtle sweetness. Her programming reveals musical intelligence. Her sound, sophisticated bowing and choice of vibrato remind us of her musical background and influences, principally, Yuval Yaron (a student of Gingold & Heifetz) and Franco Gulli.
