"Arjan Tien...demonstrated his extraordinary rapport with the musicians of the Johannesburg Philharmonic. There is a unifying bond with concrete evidence that his leadership in both the technical and aesthetic levels of musicianship clearly informs listeners that an ascending line of higher inspiration is in place.... It is through his strength in musically organizational skills that A.T. demonstrated how his layered structure of advanced musical architecture comes alive in riveting sounds, stirring the soul."

"You did my piece wonderfully. The first movement was perfection. The second movement was faster than I am used to, and it sounds great that way. I loved what you did in the Andante, and the final Tarantella was a show of brilliant virtuosity."

"Hier wordt duidelijk dat de Marinierskapel en Tien een gouden combinatie vormen waar we héél zuinig op moeten wezen."

Astonishing clarity of sound and texture thanks both to a crack ensemble and the superb recording. Brilliant, effervescent discoveries.
