“Sant’Ambrogio plays Biber’s great Passacaglia with plenty of emotion...”
Magil, American Record Guide [January/February 2017]

“[On her new CD], Stephanie Sant-Ambrogio shines brilliantly on both her violin and viola... Her diverse programme yields all kinds of technical challeneges, which she effortlessly surmounts, but it is her affection for the music that makes each an absorbing musical experience.”
Laurence Vittes, Gramophone [December 2016]

“Ms. Sant'Ambrogio has an impressive technique, accurate intonation, excellent articulation and never makes a harsh or unpleasant sound – unless called for (see below). She adapts well to the style of the varied repertory on this well-filled disc... try her extraordinary account of the exotic and quirky Cleopatra by Fazil Say. If ever you thought that a work for solo violin couldn't achieve the color a keyboard instrument could, you may change your mind after hearing Cleopatra. Sant' Ambrogio's viola performances are just as impressive... her account [of Miguel del Aguila's Cortando Limones] is utterly brilliant and you'll enjoy it. I think Sant'Ambrogio delivers a vital and incisive reading of the Hindemith Sonata, too... Every performance on the disc, actually, is quite fine. MSR's sound reproduction is excellent. If the repertory and these two string instruments appeal to you, this disc won't disappoint.”
Robert Cummings, ClassicalNet [November 2016]

“[Sant’Ambrogio] offers considerable stateliness and a fine sense of form for Telemann’s Fantasie No. 10... A big surprise here for anyone not familiar with it is Biber’s Passacaglia in G minor, a very substantial and considerably extended work that gives Sant’Ambrogio plenty of chances to explore her instrument’s emotional range. This is a real highlight of the CD... [Alfred Schnittke’s Fuga] nicely showcases Sant’Ambrogio’s technical abilities... very fine playing, quite a few little-known works to discover, and some significant highlights... Sant’Ambrogio has already recorded an MSR disc of solo works for violin and viola – and listeners who own and enjoy that earlier CD, titled Going Solo, will surely find this one a companionable addition to their collection.”
