CD Reviews:
“Chaconne” by Johann Sebastian Bach...is an enthralling fifteen minute performance... Kelly Hall-Tompkins’ wonderful performance is remarkable...
In My Own Voice contains a wide ranging choice of violin pieces each of which are played immaculately. Kelly Hall-Tompkins performs the technically demanding Bach and Ysaye compositions, alongside the beautifully haunting Saint Saens, the lively Kreisler, and the fascinating Baker variations with equal mastery and remarkable versatility. The beauty of the artiste, the instrument she graces, and the music chosen positively radiates from the recording.
-Jeff Perkins, Blog Critics Magazine
Confidence and control… Hall-Tompkins plays with obvious enthusiasm…
everything's solid…and in her capacity for taking chances on unfamiliar material, Hall-Tompkins serves notice that she's a young violinist to be watched.
-James Manheim, AllMusic.com
