DISCOGRAPHY, RECORDINGS & PRESS
“This is gorgeous music of substantial emotional depth, gorgeously played with substantial emotional insight…Stoyanovich has a confident, assertive tone, matched by superb control of quiet notes. She does much more than play the notes; she plumbs the depths.”
“…the keys and strings interact with much emotion and poeticism that tugs on the heartstrings…Sophia’s elegant and precise strings suit the unpredictable and sometimes rumbling piano from Wang.”
“Sophia plays with superb musical instincts, a lustrous tone, and exemplary technique. She locates the emotional center of each movement and conveys it with unerring directness...The rewards of this release, in musical talent and appealing accessibility, make it a standout.”
“The present album, in which the composer’s own daughter Sophia Stoyanovich shines on violin, along with Aaron Wolff, cellist, and Derek Wang, pianist, reveals music steeped in the late romantic tradition and updated for the needs of our time. Together with the keen sense of form and contour in music we find here, it is a winning combination.”
“…the performances are excellent and certainly demonstrate Sophia Stoyanovich’s virtuosic abilities with pieces that feel well-suited to her style. These are excellent, and engaging works worth tracking down to explore.”
