"Taimur Sullivan was outstanding in [Louis Karchin's] "Voyages," his melodies phrased as if this were an old and cherished classic, his virtuosity supreme." (full review)
Paul Griffiths, The New York Times, September 30, 2002

"I am especially taken with 'Tangled Loops', an outstanding piece for saxophone and piano played with dazzling proficiency by Taimur Sullivan. This type of music demands performers with nearly super-human ability…"
Christopher L. Chaffee, American Record Guide, January/February 2005

"The most impressive from the standpoint of technique was solo tenor saxophonist Taimur Sullivan's blistering performance of Philippe Hurel's "Opcit." Wickedly demanding, the four-movement piece required a different tone, weight and color for virtually every bar. From clear, fluid passages to throaty honks and blazing multiphonics, Sullivan hurdled all obstacles with laserlike precision."
Daniel Buckley, Tucson Citizen, March 8, 2000

"Mr. Sullivan delivered this...wide-ranging program with a seductive breadth of tone and considerable technical agility."
Alex Ross, The New York Times, December 7, 1995

"Sullivan...[is] among the growing band of young voices in the wilderness championing the intellectual avant-gardists...Not only dedicated and skilled, but also talented, fearless and sensitive... The sounds he made, from sotto voce murmur to joltingly accented warning, were fully and deliciously drawn."
Tom Strini, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, February 10, 1997

"...among the best contemporary music virtuosi out there."
Joseph Pehrson, The New Music Connoisseur, Winter 2002

"...[Tangled Loops is] a killer piece, and must be a bitch to play - hats off for Sullivan."
Paris Transatlantic Magazine, September 2004

"...the solo by Taimur Sullivan proved one of the events of the afternoon."
Daniel Webster, Philadelphia Inquirer, February 16, 1999

"...the dynamic saxophonist Taimur Sullivan"
Anthony Tommassini, The New York Times, April 23, 2004

"Taimur Sullivan...projects a tremendous sound across all registers of the instrument, while conveying the poetry of the score."
Carson Cooman, Music & Vision, August 13, 2005

"…saxophonist Taimur Sullivan played…a lovely, slow melody of long sax tones over faster synthesized patterns of flowing, mellow harmonies."
Kyle Gann, Village Voice online, April 10, 2002

"Sullivan's soprano saxophone showed what the instrument is really meant to do..."
Paul Somers, Classical New Jersey, June 19, 1997

"...the great performer Taimur Sullivan..."
Javier Palacio, Diverdi, March 2006

Kenneth Radnofsky, interviewed in The New York Times, December 2, 1995

"Berio’s…carefully worked out intervallic structure…[and]…jazzy and modal flavoring brought out with exciting results by Taimur Sullivan."
Barry Cohen, The New Music Connoisseur, Fall 1997

"...simply sensational."
Milton Babbitt, regarding Mr. Sullivan's New York performance of the composer's Whirled Series, March 4, 1996

"Bringing the concert to a close, saxophonist Taimur Sullivan gave an inspiring performance of Glazounov's Concerto in E-flat Major through a combination of furious technique and excellent use of the instrument's dynamic range...Sullivan displayed impressive stage presence and flair."
Christopher Herr, Fort Collins Coloradoan, April 19, 1993

"...an incredible saxophonist and a fantastic musician. The performance of [my] Opcit is wonderful."
French composer Philippe Hurel, director of Ensemble Court-Circuit

"...the impressively versatile Taimur Sullivan"
Berkshire Eagle, April 12, 2004

"Milton Babbitt's unpredictable, episodic duet, "Whirled Series,'' exploded with playful moments between Taimur Sullivan's sax and Marilyn Nonken's piano."
Chicago Sun-Times, April 20, 2005

With the PRISM Quartet:

"...the gentle, reedy beauty of the playing was beguiling."
The New York Times

"The Prism Quartet's members -- Tim Ries, Michael Whitcombe, Matthew Levy, and Taimur Sullivan -- avoid the effete cliches of the classical saxophone. They play with grit, brio and take-no-prisoners accuracy."
Detroit Free Press

"The quartet...played with immense agility and finesse. The members produced a suave and integrated tone coupled with a depth of understanding of a work that was exuberant and exciting to experience."
Des Moines Register

[Headline: PRISM QUARTET LIGHTS UP GBS] " ... the fantastic Prism Saxophone Quartet...dazzling foursome. [William Bolcom's] Concerto Grosso's' Connecticut premiere was exhilarating, to say the least. The audience demanded an encore..."

"superb sax group..."
The New Yorker
