And from London’s Sunday Times, which requires a subscription, so here is what respected reviewer Hugh Canning has to say:

“Better known ‘across the pond’ as a concert master and chamber musician, the Canadian Stobbe reveals himself as a master soloist, recalling the golden age of violin-playing enshrined in these solo sonatas dedicated to some of the composer’s contemporaries (Szigeti, Enescu, Kreisler, et al). Ysaÿe attempts a dazzling synthesis of Bach’s sonatas and partitas, of the “diabolical” Paganini’s Caprices, and of recent (in 1923) French and Spanish music. Stobbe is unfazed by the challenges, producing a breath-taking range of tone colours.”
