"Li-Wei is the most gifted young cellist I have heard. Aside from an extraordinary technical fluency, he has a musical intelligence and sensitivity which is breathtaking both for its maturity and profound vision." - The Strad, April 1998

Not everything in Prokofiev’s complex and often imaginative accompaniment clicked as precisely into place as it should under Jerzy Maksymiuk’s occasionally overwrought direction. But Li-Wei’s magnetic presence ultimately galvanised the occasion." - Kenneth Walton, Bournemouth Echo

“Li-Wei Qin was the soloist in the hauntingly Bohemian Dvorak Cello Concerto in A minor – once regarded as almost unplayable. This virtuoso must now be regarded as on of the world’s greatest cellists.” - Tom Service, South China Morning Post
