"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." Sacramento Ragtime Society, USA.

"... of all the distinguished pianists who have performed the composition over the years I cannot think of any who have added so much to my work as has Phillip Dyson on each occasion it has been my privilege to hear him perform the Fantasy. His interpretation of my work was so sympathetic and so exactly what I had in mind when I wrote the piece that it was quite uncanny. He gave a wonderful performance, perfect, superb!"  Sir Malcolm Arnold.
