"Can the world take yet another brilliant young female violinist? Yes, if that violinist is Esther Yoo" wrote The Telegraph after the violinist's performance with the Philharmonia Orchestra in March 2016. Esther Yoo first came to international attention in 2010 when, aged 16, she became the youngest prizewinner of the 10th International Sibelius Violin Competition. In 2012 the American-Korean violinist was also one of the youngest ever prizewinners of the Queen Elisabeth Competition, and since 2014 she has been a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist.

Following the success of her debut, Sibelius·Glazunov Violin Concertos, which achieved Gold Status in South Korea, Esther Yoo reveals her second album, which features the Tchaikovsky Violin Concertoand short works from the Russian composer such as "Pas de Deux" and"Danse Russe" from Swan Lake, Sérénade mélancolique, Valse-Scherzo and "Mélodie" from Souvenir d'un lieu cher.
