Review from REVUE magazine- Wei Luo’s passion is plain to see and hear
Luo’s strong connection to the Russian compositions was plain throughout the concert. She embraced the slower tempo of Tchaikovsky's “October,” evoking a melancholy autumn scene. Her furious delivery of Shostakovich’s “Prelude and Fugue in D Minor, Op. 87, No. 24” was a definite concert highlight. She stormily voiced the desperation within the piece, which the composer wrote in the midst of artistic oppression.

Wei performed Mozart concerto in c minor no.24 with Albany Symphony
There was a greater weight and force to her touch, which was welcome. In the opening she captured the dark fire of the orchestral writing.
