| "Dyson 's performance brought a prolonged
standing ovation. In addition to his sparkling piano style, he exhibits
a coy, very British sense of humour as understated as one of those
little cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off served at high
tea, and he has a comic timing worthy of Jack Benny."

"Phillip Dyson's brilliance, excellent
musicality and beautiful tone colours were served by a pure and efficient
technique. A performance of great merit!"

Phillip Dyson. Few pianists have both the technique and the inclination
to tackle of the music of Billy Mayerl. Fortunately, Dyson has the
requisite qualities in spades, together with a wonderfully dry sense
of humour, which extended to his playing. "

occasion it has been my privilege to hear him perform the Fantasy.
