A review by S. James Wegg says it succintly when he titles it "Exceptional violinist deserves more respect".

Midori Goto is one of those incredible Violinists who, despite her talent, partially due to her low profile and also because she doesn’t market herself as well as, say Anne-Sophie Mutter she has not been given the respect her talent truly deserves (thank goodness for excellent CD recordings..). Her recording of Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto remains my personal all-time favorite of that interpretation.

What most people don’t know about her is her active charitable participations to promote quality music education, it is for that reason that she left Juilliard, probably the most famous school for Musicians in all America, instead she graduated in Psychology with a Masters. She is said to live in Berlin and Los Angeles today and plays a Guarnerius del Gesu ‘ex-Huberman’ Violin, 1734, one of the most outstanding Violins in existence.
