Reviews
"The work by Man Fang, who lives in the United States, is an elegant writer and stands out
with fresh sensibility." In commenting her work AQUA, "This is an outstanding piece. In employing transforming sound
waves to create a landscape of light and water, it offered a superb unity. The second movement, "AQUA,"
was fascinating to me. The third movement, although short, had poetic emotional expression and was
also very impressive."
– Akira Nishimura, Composer, Judge of the Toru Takemitsu Award 2007
