"Roger Nyquist plays the organ better than most people.  In order: rhythmic sense, accuracy of finger, registration, and musical grasp are all outstanding."  —The American Organist, November, 1994

"Nyquist is a stimulating artist, full of alertness, flexibility, and imagination." —Fanfare Magazine

"As concert organists go, Dr. Nyquist strikes a refreshing chord, as sensitive to musical line and expression as to instrumentation and blend. He is different from many of the illustrious organists who have played the Casavant at the Carmel Mission in that he adds an all-important humanity to his technical skills." —Scott MacClelland, Prelude Magazine, October, 1988

"Nyquist's Franck is broad, sophisticated and nicely paced.  It is the sort of mature playing that transcends the need to use the composer's technical demands as a vehicle for demonstrating the player's virtuosity." —John Ogasapian, The American Organist

"But most of all, it is due to Dr. Nyquist's playing.  It is clean, exciting and aesthectically satisfying, eschewing extremes and idiosyncrasies of interpretation on the one hand and empty displays of virtuosic technique on the other.   One can tell that the technique is there, such that he feels no need to show it, nor we to have it demonstrated to us inappropriately. Instead, the whole production makes a fine aesthetic whole.  This one I recommend to you highly."—John Ogasapian, The American Organist
