“[Dirst’s] playing was of irresistible rhythmic impulse, the rhythm not of the metronome but of a fine dancer ever minutely adjusting to gravity’s tug. He commanded the music’s intellectual rigors but also luxuriated in its pure delight. And there was some pretty dazzling virtuosity.” (The Dallas Morning News)
