Dear John

I took a chance and listened to your music on MP3.com. You are a great composer. I didn't know there were any of them out there any more. I wish you the best of luck with your great music.---David Bagno, composer, MP3.com, http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/62/david_bagno.html

To: Vicky

Honestly, I don't like very much classical music.

So, the truth is that I made some effort to listen to John's "Trio for...". Well, efforts were to start. After 30 seconds no more effort and after 2 minutes I stopped.... and started again the whole song to get the pleasure of listening.

Well, just to say it's a good surprise to me. The rank of this song let me think that it probably is a good surprise too for thousands of listeners.---Michel Camboulives (CAMBOU), composer (Europop), MP3.com, http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/156/cambou.html

Estimado Maestro John Mitchell:

Hoy lo conocí por Internet en su página oficial, escuché las obras disponibles, y ya no dudé que estaba frente a un GRAN COMPOSITOR. ¡¡¡Gracias a Dios aún quedan creadores con el buen gusto clásico, y que entienden y saben transmitir lo que es realmente el arte!!!.---Fernando Esteban, music student, Argentina, mmoozzaarrtt2003@yahoo.com.ar

...una Música de alguien llamado John Mitchell, una Música creada HOY con el Espíritu de Siempre, esto es, de la Música de toda la Vida, la que crearon los que conocemos hoy como Los Grandes. Dentro de 100 años, de 200 o de 3000, su Música seguirá sonando.---Quirón Alvar,Primera Puerta, http://quiron_alvar.tripod.com
