“Completely at easy on the stage, she bonded with the audience before she had played one note… (Eva León’s) technique looks perfectly relaxed and as natural as breathing; her tone is warm, sonorous and pure, with a large range of colors which she controls with bow and vibrato and applies with a painter’s skill and imagination.”
- New York Concert Review (Carnegie Hall Debut)
"(Mendelssohn violin concerto)… Ms. León showcased her strengths as a recitalist: expressive adagio playing, exploration of contrasts in articulation, and her ability to communicate emotion through both her visual and musical presentation… Ms. León’s mastery seemed to emerge naturally from the full string sound. In the final movement, Ms. León’s variety of expression and articulation won over the audience. She is full of youthful exuberance and fully involved in the emotional aspects of her delivery."
