'artist of major caliber at the harpsichord, unflappable, with an impressive technique subordinated to a sensitivity to the styles appropriate to the music he played.'
'The Evening Press, Binghamton, N.Y.

'... Metz dispatched its blend of scurrying runs and forearm clusters with a panache and an accuracy...'
New York Times

"One of the most accomplished musicians in this or any other country. As a composer, he stands upon the highest ground, both as to science and originality, as well as to knowledge of effect, and in every respect is certainly highly entitled to public favour. I cannot refrain from mentioning, that having heard, on a certain occasion, Mr. Taylor extemporize in one of his happiest moods, Mr. Reinagle declared unequivocally that he conceived it equal to the skill and powers of (C.P.E.) Bach himself."
- The Musical lntelligencer, (Philadelphia, 1822)
