What the Music Critics Write About
Stephanie Chase
"surely the season's most dazzling
program...." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"one of the twenty most
outstanding performances in the (Beethoven Violin Concerto's) recording history”
(‘Beethoven: Violin Concerto,’ Cambridge University Press)
“stunning power”
and
“explosive, 1,200-horsepower playing that precisely matched
the scale and soul of the music”
(Louisville Courier-Journal)
“no other violinist
plays more truly or musically than Chase”
(San
Francisco Chronicle)
“elegance, dexterity, rhythmic vitality and great
imagination”
(Boston
Globe)
“makes each work a new
musical journey, riveting the audience’s attention from
beginning to end”
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
“great sense of style,
matchless technique and flawless intonation”
(BBC
Music Magazine)
“supreme inner radiance”
(NPR)
“refreshingly stylish”
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
"rich, passionate tone, dead-true intonation throughout,

(Gramophone)
"the first half... featured violinist Stephanie Chase playing
(Beethoven's) Concerto in D Major. This alone was worth the price of
admission." (Springfield (OH) News Sun)
"one of the
violin greats of our era." (Newhouse Newspapers)
"preceded by an impressive resumé, the violinist
(Stephanie Chase) confirmed that she is a concert musician of class: faultless as to
technical domination of the instrument, malleable and personal in the
phrasing, and resolute with authoritative mien whether in virtuosic
aspects or the ample singing passages in the Mozart concerto."
(La Provincia, Pavia, Italy - February 2007)
"though
basically light salon music, (Friml's pieces) have so much elegance that their
unabashed romantic sentimentality never seems cheap or saccharine.
These performances are greatly helped by
Chase's technical control, beautiful sound, rhythmic flexibility,
unerring taste, and natural stylistic affinity. Avoiding
condescension and exaggeration, the players bring out the charm...
of the music." (Review of
Bygone Days, Strings Magazine - February 2007)
"The first half...featured violinist Stephanie Chase
playing (Beethoven's) Concerto in D Major. This alone was worth the
price of admission." - Springfield News Sun
