Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra

​
​"In die (vir Beethoven) stadige Largo het die pianis 'n gevoel van argitektoniese gravitas op 'n inspirerende wyse laat kontrasteer met  'n tydlose lirisme waarin sy beheer oor klankdinamiek en spesifiek figurasies subtiel toegepas is."  - Paul Boekkooi, Spog

“Hy kry dit reg om elke noot en frase se volume gemete en met insig te speel. Met die eerste twee bewegings van Beethoven se Klaviersonate No.23 in F mineur, Op. 57, o ewel die Appassionata-sonate, het hy luide note gespeel wat by tye naby aan kras geklink het, maar dan binne ’n oogwink deur ’n spektrum van kleur en volume beweeg tot die soetste, sagste note. So ’n fyn instelling het dan tot gevolg dat die musikale lyne deursigtig word sodat ’n mens bewus word van temas wat tussendeur die stempartye vleg.” - Wayne Muller, INK

"Megan-Geoffrey Prins hands himself over to the music. There is no ego there. There is no diva performer making big noise and gesture. He is a man who is a conduit for the music. And it is transcendent." - Megan Furniss, Weekend Special

Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.  2 with the Landesjugendorchester Reinland-Pfalz

"Enormes Können bewies das Orchester auch bei dem anschließenden Werk, Sergei Rachmaninows „Klavierkonzert Nr. 2“. Als Gastmusiker am Flügel: der wie Dirigent Albert Horne aus Südafrika stammende, bereits vielfach mit Preisen ausgezeichnete junge Pianist Megan-Geoffrey Prins. Beeindruckend sein akzentuiertes, gleichermaßen von hoher technischer Präzision und künstlerischer Expressivität geprägtes Spiel."  - Ulrike Bletzer, Rhein-Beitung

"Experiencing such fine ensemble playing between all four musicians is something I can’t recall from any previous performances by South African musicians. The playing was full of rhythmic precision in the amazingly fast tempo of the Rondo alla Zingarese. Prins was fully alert of some of the pitfalls in the score, but with a fine sense for ensemble work and impeccable preparation, it was obvious that he was fully up to the task. A performance which catapulted the necessary excitement, but also expressive warmth and comfort." - Paul Boekkooi
