The release of Stepanova’s new album “E Pluribus Unum” has been warmly received by the national and international media. International Piano calls the album “artistically and politically, a commendable release.” The BBC Music Magazine writes that Stepanova’s “personal experience of immigration inform her thoughtful and sensitive accounts of highly varied and complex scores… an intelligently curated recital.” Gramophone states that “Stepanova brings remarkable commitment and impressive virtuosity to these performances.”
Particularly memorable press quotes come from Classical Modern Music: "This is music of importance and depth, played brilliantly" and Music City Review: “This album warrants attention on its musicality alone. But, I am also drawn to it for its quiet insistence that music (as is true with most things) is best as a shared experience that makes a space for all.”
