Chicago Sun Times
"Played with indefatigable flair"

Omaha World-Herald
"Michael Burritt displays the skill and intensity of a veteran performer and radiates the curiosity and excitement of a student......these talents helped the Northwestern University Professor capture and retain the undivided attention of an Omaha Symphony Audience of more than 1,500."

Richmond Palladium Item
"It would be hard to say which was more impressive -- Burritt's musicianship or his athleticism. He created a masterful range of percussive sounds, precisely timed, while turning and occasionally dashing from one instrument (or bank of instruments) to another. Whew!"

Instrumentalist Magazine
"an outstanding keyboard percussionist."

Percussive Notes Magazine
"You can go to school with this recording" A must acquisition for any serious percussionist."

Leigh Howard Stevens (International marimba soloist and recording artist)
"one of the greatest marimbists of our time..."

Anders Astrand (Swedish virtuoso vibraphonist, composer and recording artist)
"Michael Burritt is a throwback to the great 19th century tradition of the performer-composer and his contributions to the percussion world are unquestionably a lasting one."

Professor Gary Cook (President, Percussive Arts Society)
"The Audience was held spellbound by his dazzling virtuosity and musicianship. "

"Michael has refined his concepts of marimba playing into a concise and clear presentation that, I must say, is one of the finest I have observed and enjoyed in over twenty years of College teaching."
