"Victoria Bass is a remarkable young talent who plays contemporary music with much tonal beauty and expressive assurance."
Charleston Post & Courier | Joshua Rosenblum, June 3, 2006
"Victoria Bass, an astonishing young cellist, performed a solo piece by Ayaka Nishina, which required her to sing incantatory vocal lines while she played. Bass, delivered a fierce level of passion, and perfectly tuned octaves as a bonus."

"After all this minimalism came the Ligeti Cello Concerto, performed by cellist Victoria Bass. She had the unusual ability to understand and project the dramatic (and often introspective and extremely quiet) solo line in such a profound way that even a novice to new music (and there were many in the audience) could admire and feel the substance of the piece."
Charleston Post & Courier | Joshua Rosenblum, June 3, 2006
"I already mentioned Victoria Bass’s near-hallucinatory performance of Ayaka Nishina’s 2001 piece “Membrane,” for cello solo, on Music in Time II. The following day, on Chamber Music VI, I was swept away by another powerhouse piece for cello solo, this time courtesy of Alisa Weilerstein… Weilerstein generated more visceral excitement than I’ve ever heard from a solo cellist, unless you count Bass on the previous day. Someone should really commission a cello duet for these two ferocious young performers. Together, they would probably burn the place down."

"Kurt Stallman's "For Bass and Tape" is actually for cello and tape, but its very live performer was the astonishingly gifted young cellist Victoria Bass."

"Equally or maybe even more sexy was the performance by Juilliard cellist Victoria Bass whose dramatic rendition of Berio's Sequenza XIV was nothing short of astonishing. She did more with two fingers, while beating on the cello's body with the other hand, than most other bands can do with a full ensemble, looking wilder and scarier than the most monstrous corpsepainted metalhead."

"Bass was cool…She practically danced sitting down…She showed a sense of humor and grace."
