REVIEWS:
Fanfare (5-6/98, p.245) - "...A good way to put Jones in perspective is by comparing this effort with Elinor Bennett's fine recital on Nimbus NI 5441....On balance, this is the most satisfying harp recital to come across my desk since that Bennett recording. Recommended to all those who are harp aficionados, but more to the point, those of you who aren't."
BBC Music (3/98, p.75) - Performance: 5 (out of 5), Sound: 5 (out of 5) -
"...Ieuan Jones 'Rhapsodie'...contains some decorative, oft-recorded and well-loved transcriptions such as Debussy's 'Clair de Lune'....[These] performances are very accomplished."

"…harpist of exceptional musical imagination and stylistic panache". The Times
"…He is outstandingly gifted…"Sir Georg Solti
"…one of the most talented harpists…of any generation". Nicanor Zabaleta
"If all harpists were as sure and exact as Jones was with his instrument, the audience would be spoiled by such abundance. Alas this is not so".Philippine Journal
"Pure wizardry…" The Philippine Star
"Jones is an instrumentalist who seems welded to his instrument by more than career choice. He convinces you that while he is playing, nothing else matters: an amazingly focused musician who should be heard by a larger audience". The Age
