The Guardian
Isabelle van Keulen played Elgar’s violin concerto with far more energy and brightness than is often heard, but didn’t sacrifice any of its heart.  Her taut musical intelligence and vivid sound combined with a fine instinct for the tender, searching quality of this music…absolutely magical.

Birmingham Post
She ignored the, sadly still prevalent, cliché of Elgar as a dreamy, nostalgic pastoralist. Passion was van Keulen’s watchword and her dynamic approach suits the concerto’s epic size and emotional sweep.

Leipziger Volkszeitung
[Van Keulen] possesses outstanding security in her playing; a powerful, shining, full tone, together with a scrupulously innovative interpretation.
