Joshua Kosman of the SF Chronicle praises "Dreamscapes" CD
"The Chinese Canadian composer Vivian Fung writes music infused with the sounds of Asian tradition - not (at least on this disc) China but Indonesia...they lend the music a welcome lyricism and grace. Yet the further Fung strays from that stylistic foundation, the more fascinating and rewarding her music becomes.
