Simon Fryer is without a doubt one of Canada's most important cellists. We have had the opportunity of performing together and found his unusual sensitivity to the chamber music repertoire a joy. He possesses a lyrical approach to his instrument reminiscent of a fine tenor. His recitals present the repertoire with a musical intelligence and unified voice. These performances are simply not to be missed.
- The St. Lawrence String Quartet

Simon Fryer demonstrates an excellent command of his instrument as a tool of communication between composer and listener. He plays with masterful technique and beautiful tone. In addition, he has the very appealing attribute of establishing a warm rapport with his audience. - Marilyn Dalzell, CBC

Rarely have we been blessed with such wonderful music making... - John B. Lawson, Q.C., Arts and Letters Club of Toronto
