"The project I started in Iran was highly selective, and I saw Mr. Birang's composition skills where at such a high level that his work deserves to be released by a world-class company like Naxos."
"I find Mr. Birang to be a phenomenal musician who is skilled in a wide variety of music from classical to pop and jazz, and he is a talented composer. His major at the conservatory was classical piano the same as me, however, he has taught himself a wide variety of music on his own and without any teacher."

"Mr. Birang demonstrated his rare talent in music in young age and quickly became an icon for his generation on Iranian National TV by composing for popular series in the 90's, especially for children. The advertisement work which he composed as a teenager in the 90's and early 2000's are also still prominent in the pop culture of Iran."
"In addition, Mr. Birang is exceptionally skillful in working with computer samples and software, and has a vast knowledge of digital production. His ability to record, synthesize, mix and master is a considerable asset. He can handle the music production from scratch and deliver the best results. Recently, he was hired to record and mix a project for Tehran Philharmonic Orchestra."

"I am usually quite selective about the musicians that I cooperate with, but it is a pleasure and an honor to work with Ali. He knows the instruments, their feeling, their advantages and challenges, thus he knows how to write notes for them. This makes his compositions very enjoyable to perform. What I love about performing Ali’s compositions is the fact that they are quite challenging. The beauty of his works is in Ali’s genius."
Iranian Association of Film Composers
"Many of his (Mr. Birang) compositions were featured on popular series on Iranian National Television. He went on to compose the scores of many well-known Iranian films. So he did not need to provide any further recommendations."
"My son is a very prominent and respected musician in Iran. He works with prominent artists and directors and is a member of the Association of Film Composers, which is highly selective organization that only offers memberships to a very few high profile musicians."

"When one hears his (Mr. Birang) film compositions, they wouldn't think that a youth at his age has composed them, because they have the sophistication of someone like Hans Zimmer, the legendary composer of Hollywood."
