»The Elbphilharmonie scored a bull's eye with this »Reflektor« festival, and perfectionist Zorn shares that opinion.«
Hamburger Abendblatt
»I have often seen and met John Zorn, and I have rarely seen him so happy while presenting his music. Well-deserved praise for the Elbphilharmonie and for all the musicians who appeared with him.«
French journalist
»Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic.«

»There were standing ovations from the audience even for something as demanding as the song recital with Barbara Hannigan. That undoubtedly has to do with John Zorn's big international fanbase. Many different languages could be heard in the foyer – some fans must have made a long journey to attend the festival.«
