A dedicated champion of Carl Vine's music, Poom was personally commissioned by the Australian composer to premiere Three Fantasies, a project supported by United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB), at the University of Hong Kong.

His technical mastery is formidable, achieving remarkable speed and accuracy through the most complex passages, yet also finding a sonorous serenity in the more lyrical moments. This performance is a very welcome addition to the history of this sonata."
