"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."
