"One of the album’s overarching strengths is that from the very first moment one senses that Reetamaria Rajala is in complete command of her instrument. Whether the music surges and becomes almost unmanageable, or settles quietly to the floor, as if one could almost stroke it, she remains utterly assured. On Stories, Rajala is required to draw on a wide range of skills, and she delivers convincingly throughout." - Rachel Einarsson, Klassisk Bureau 12.2.2026
