"[Lee's] sound is so astonishingly pure: it aches with the sadness of loss and the sadness of wisdom, pulses with the joy of being alive and whispers of an elegance almost too exotic to be true." "..a superb musician and an innovative and prolific composer. The shakuhachi is a transcendentally beautiful instrument and Lee's playing has an emotional and meditative power which overwhelms his obvious technical expertise". Sydney Morning Herald
