“A warm and virtuosic performance of the Mendelssohn D Minor Concerto by the outstanding artist Stephanie Chase.” - Seattle Times


“The soloist (in Mendelssohn's Concerto in E Minor) was the superb violinist Stephanie Chase, who played with elegance, dexterity, rhythmic vitality and great imagination. This was a Classical performance in the best sense: clear-headed, straightforward, intelligent. What a relief to hear this music without the schmoozing and attention grabbing tricks so many celebrity virtuosi lay on it. In the Andante Chase discreetly embellished the main theme when it returned, which was quite lovely. In the sprightly finale her playing was all the more brilliant for its quicksilver lightness.” - Boston Globe


“The fleet, intense performance was enhanced by Chase’s bright, silvery tone and superb articulation.” Minneapolis Star-Tribune


“Chase's performance was lean, elegant and effortless.” - St. Paul Pioneer Press


“One of the violin greats of our era” Newhouse Newspapers
 


“Stephanie Chase has a great sense of style, matchless technique and flawless intonation” BBC Music Magazine
 


“The soloist was the superb violinist Stephanie Chase, who played with elegance, dexterity, rhythmic vitality and great imagination. This was a Classical performance in the best sense: clear-headed, straightforward, intelligent” Boston Globe
 


“Rich, passionate tone, dead-true intonation throughout, and virtuosity galore”  Gramophone
 


"…one of the twenty most outstanding performances in the (Beethoven Violin Concerto's) recording history” – ‘Beethoven: Violin Concerto,’ Cambridge University Press
 


“...a deeply poetic account of the (Sibelius) Concerto by Stephanie Chase, (who) poured out the impassioned northern lyricism on a spacious scale, holding enough throbbing tone and gutsy bravura in reserve for the extroverted passages” Chicago Tribune
 


“A supreme musical performer whose complete virtuosity enables her to ennoble everything she plays.” – Byron Belt, Newhouse Newspapers
 


“A Record to Die For” - Stereophile


“Refreshingly stylish…(Chase) “makes each work a new musical journey, riveting the audience’s attention from beginning to end” - St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 


“Stephanie Chase is making her name on sheer artistry … (no violinist) plays more truly or musically than Chase” San Francisco Chronicle
 


“The American violinist conquered the work’s many technical hurdles as authoritatively as she illuminated its generous lyric outpourings” Los Angeles Times
 


“She played always with firm control, a fine sense of the music’s subtle shadings and above all the vigor and the large gestures it often demands" Washington Post
 


“Chase’s interpretation of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto was one of the best I have ever heard, live or recorded. ..She is like a great actress, with such presence that by speaking softly, she can make the audience hang on every syllable...The cadenzas were simply stupendous, both in composition and execution” Portland Press Herald
 


"...with the apparent ease that accompanies great virtuosity..... Stephanie, Beethoven and the orchestra, striving toward Truth celebrate the highest image of the human." - Gleanings and Giftings by H.D. Wagener
 


“Stephanie Chase played with fire, sensitivity, impeccable intonation, and a wonderfully steady and flexible bow arm that made the violin part sound like a vocal line”Boston Globe
 


"These performances are greatly helped by Chase's technical control, beautiful sound, rhythmic flexibility, unerring taste, and natural stylistic affinity" Strings Magazine
 


“Chase deserves the acclaim… she gave an unaffected, beautiful performance with a variety and clarity of tone that projected effortlessly.  It commanded the normally violin-absorbent hall” - San Francisco Chronicle
 


“This showpiece (Tchaikovsky Concerto) is rarely performed as beautifully as it was by Stephanie Chase. Chase found ways to transcend the score (and) her liberties were poignant and meaningful. Not extroverted, and technically flawless, Chase’s playing often bordered on recklessness and passionate abandon” - The Tennessean
 


"CHASE, UN ARCHETTO DE TRIONFO" ("Chase, A Triumphant Bow" - Headline of review)  - La Provincia, Pavia, Italy
 


“Exceptional security of technique and bow control, married to a supreme inner radiance” Performance Today, National Public Radio
 


“Chase’s playing was sweet and exquisite” - Chicago Tribune
 


“Her performance of the Haydn Concerto was a rare moment in which a soloist’s manner of playing seemed destined for that particular style and type of music. The brightness of her sound, its projection into the hall, and the stylish handling of elegant but highly ornate music fit the Haydn work perfectly” - Houston Chronicle
