South China Morning Post (Hong Kong) on Illumination
“It’s a slowly morphing, 12-minute piece that, in most young composers’ hands, would sound as if it was wandering around a room with no exit, but Lam shows an instinctive feel for when to nudge things along.  Using minimal harmonic and melodic material, the elemental shifts came right on cue to sustain attention.”

CASHFLOW, Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong on Inner Light
“... Lam’s Inner Light, however, provides an added dimension of the expression of emotions from a symphonic wind orchestra ...  Though barely noticeable, the layers of tone colours create huge tensions, while the piano contribution represents the suppressed and struggled character throughout the piece …  Unlike most works for symphonic wind orchestra, Inner Light expresses the most sophisticated emotion which is the pressure that inescapably originates from the trivialities of modern life ...  Inner Light illustrated the fact that a symphonic wind orchestra can express inner and deep emotions and is not restricted to merely creating sensational and superficial sounds and emotions.”

Asian Music Festival Final Report, Chou Wen-Chung, composer, on Inner Light
“There were some excellent scores, including ... Inner Light by Fung Lam ... (a) thoughtful and effective piece ...”

The Independent (London) on Caged
“Fung Lam used a backing track that sounded like crowds in a subway station in pursuit of his successful evocation of claustrophobia, which had the cello alternating a nagging main idea with dreamlike withdrawals.”

Sydney Morning Herald on Amitabha
“Fung Lam's Amitabha was a still pentatonic meditation, like a morning breeze over quiet water.”
