Reviews
His performances were quoted by the critics with comments such as; "Performing each with consummate technical ease, attractive tone, and an excellent lyrical sense. His pianist, (David Oei) displays same appealing qualities"[6] "A gorgeous, lush tone",[7] "Great flair and brilliance",[8] "Transcendent technical control",[9] "Gracefully lyrical...Infectious warmth throughout",[10]

The Sonata is a superior example of perceptive chamber music collaboration",[13] "Kim's rich, golden tone is a real treat...no doubt many great singers would envy Kim's lovingly phrased and songful performance...easy recommendation".[14] The Starr-Kim-Boeckheler Piano Trio (with pianist Susan Starr, cellist Ulrich Boeckheler) released the Mendelssohn Piano Trio in C minor, and the Tchaikovsky Piano Trio in a minor with the Mastersound/Allegro.
