“The music making was beyond reproach... (Ms. Morkoski) was joined by Ms. Stinson in an appealingly light-toned, understated account of Debussy’s Cello Sonata (1915).”

- Allan Kozinn, New York Times

“Stinson's impassioned and compelling renditions, coupled with an inner warmth and calm that are truly remarkable, give this compilation more than a touch of heroic "gravitas". And what about the tone that Stinson produces from the instrument? Absolutely impeccable and sublime, this is an impressive debut disc in top-notch sound and presentation.”

- Gerald Fenech, Classical.net

“Caroline Stinson, dédicataire de l'œuvre, en donne toute son intensité expressive.”

- Gilles Toussaint, DNA Strasbourg

“All through these pieces the one constant of Caroline Stinson's gorgeous instrument carries the common tune, and a beautiful one it is. She has it all, fabulous tone, great technique, innate musicality, and a real sense of how to project a wide variety of contemporary music. Even though the majority of this recital is for solo cello, Stinson never lets the energy or interest waver for even a moment — her skills at programming are as obvious here as her musical talent. The diversity in these works makes sure that the entire gamut of cello playing is covered, and there is simply no place to hide for any cellist lacking the confidence. Stinson has it in abundance, and has given us a superb debut recital that is certain to bode great things for the future as well.”

- Steven Ritter, Fanfare Magazine

“Cellist Stinson [who] was featured as a soloist on Luigi Boccherini's Concerto No. 3 in G Major for Cello and Orchestra... commanded the stage with her emotive and technical skill on a piece that the composer wrote to demonstrate his own cello virtuosity.”

- Syracuse Post-Standard, NY

“[a] splendid cellist”

- New York Newsday, NY

“On the touching Ballad…the standout cellist Caroline Stinson revealed a clean and piquant approach...it was the beginning of excellent playing...throughout the evening.”

- Sacramento Bee, CA

“And finally Caroline Stinson, with equally beautiful and contoured cello playing in Beethoven's Sonata op.69, ensured the audience's full attention.”

--Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, Cologne, Germany

“[an] unusually adept contemporary-music specialist”

- The New Yorker, NY

“Andrew Waggoner's Livre for solo cello was given an eloquent interpretation by Caroline Stinson... this epigrammatic work seemed to end far too soon, leaving the listener wanting more.”

--Winnipeg Free Press, MB, Canada
Winnipeg New Music Festival
