�Her contralto is distinctive - at once voluptuous and androgynous, with an impressively wide range and sure technique - while her direction is idiosyncratic. At times, her approach seems mannered...Elsewhere, though, Stutzmann really captures the sublime quality of Bach's sacred music� --BBC Music Magazine, March 2013 ****
�This is certainly a very attractive and intelligent offering indeed, astutely compiled and most beautifully performed.� --International Record Review, February 2013
�Stutzmann has an ear for captivating attention and her orchestra, Orfeo 55, are often as responsive to her 'stick' as they are to her dark-hued vocalisation...Immediacy of sentiment and fresh anticipation of the core 'conceit' of each one of these disparate movements is Stutzmann's strongest suit...This [disc] is, overall, rather too much of a good thing - but still admire the sparkle and committed intent.� --Gramophone Magazine, February 2013
�Stutzmann has a unique voice, one which hasn�t always appealed to me. However, she uses it to good effect here. Her fruity, sometimes throaty contralto has a unique colour that sets it apart...Orfeo 55 make a lovely sound, lithe and flexible with great rhythmic bounce, and they�re shown off to their finest effect in the Sinfonia that opens the disc.� --MusicWeb International, January 2013
