Ms Blumenstock is a great gift to the world. Her playing is sublime and hauntingly beautiful. She is unique in that her exquisite playing both combines technical virtuosity and raw emotional power.

instablaster.

She is an uncommonly passionate baroque violinist. She would not be out of place at all if she played in the period itself imo. I see her I click.

Magnificent performance of a beautiful piece of music! My heartfelt congratulations to all of you or making this world a better place to live in with your glorious music making. From your fan in Florence.

There are so many players who master the technical problems without ever finding a tenth of the feeling and expression Elizabeth Blumenstock delivers here. This is absolutely transporting. Bravo!
Rudolf Weiler
Sublime performance, this could melt anybody's heart (Schmelzer, schmelzen = melt)

Maravilloso, como estos músicos entusiastas dibujan melodías al margen de la línea musical del bajo continuo, me gusto muchísimo.
