“All in all this is a fabulous album, wide-ranging in scope and mood, played with reverence and love for the music without resorting to indulgence. I am bowled over by her sense of colour and texture, with real clarity to the voicing; this is Bach playing of a high order.”
- MusicWeb International
“Papastefanou captures the essence of Bach’s music, whilst taking us in some new and unexpected directions too.”
