"Bravo! Incredible in concept and execution! The conclusion as JSB retired back into the 'bowels of the earth' after giving a performance of his last work before his death was at once a spell-binding and emotional experience. And the concept of video cameras on the key and pedal boards was equally commendable. All in all, concert which has left an indelible impression in my mind." - P.B.
"Words cannot describe fully how we felt about the whole programme - truly stunning would even seem too mild. It was incredibly professional, well thought out and amazingly executed. We shall never think of Bach in the same way again!"- P & M. M.
