Paul is absolutely underrated. He plays so beautifully. He understood what story the composer wanted to tell and what emotion the composer wanted to express. He delivered all of them gracefully, His play is incredibly touching.

Paul Huang is truly amazing! I started following him after watching his Saint Saens sonata performance on youtube years ago. His playing is impeccable! He deserves much larger stages.

[@CamerataPacifica]

He truly is! His playing for Saint Saën's Fantasie for Violin and Harp is a real highlight for us as well. Thanks for listening!

As a fellow violinist, I always HATED hearing this piece coming from practice rooms. But after discovering Paul Huang play the Brahms G Major Sextet, I searched his name and came upon this video. I can’t believe how beautiful he makes this piece. It almost feels as though I’m hearing it for the first time… 🥹 props to the pianist, as well! So much passion and sensitivity from both artists.

[@CamerataPacifica]

Thanks for your comment, Melissa! Paul and Gilles's interpretation of this piece has consistently blown our audiences away. We're glad you enjoyed appreciate your kind words!

Do You Like Brahams will always be synonymous with Franck's Violin Sonata in A-maj. I only heard Clara Jumi and Perlman play this piece and came across this video on my feed. There is a lot of passion and thought that is demonstrated and it is a well don performance 😊!!
