Allmusic [2]

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek states "Zorn has become a prolific composer of film scores and string quartets, and he writes for any number of other configurations as one of the most in-demand composers in the world. All of that is born out on Stolas, the single most beautiful album in the Book of Angels series so far — and, one might argue, in the entirety of the Masada catalog".[2]
