“[…] Vasilis is also an excellent bass player, in the same league as some of the very best.[…] (Greg Drygala / HiFiCritic, UK)
“[…] The well practiced play of Stefanopoulos, consisting of pizzicato, bowing and even drumming, is of high class. […] (Hifi.nl, NL)
“It’s not easy to replace an entire orchestra but it’s a joy to listen to Vasilis’ accompaniment. His accompaniment seems effortless and he ensures that the whole remains euphonious.” (JazzFlits NL)
