The Santa Barbara News Press described Mr. Hong's performance as "…a tour de force. Hong evoked a kind of Beatlemania when he came on stage. What a showman! What a musician!" The New York Times lauded his "crystalline energy…clear and persuasive ideas…and remarkable breadth of coloration" and called him "a pianistic firebrand" in a review of his standing-room only New York recital debut at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall.
