02/2017 "Marcus Antonius Wesselmann conceals his provocation behind the abstraction of his titles. Dezett (2007) is a 'chaos concert' with piano confronting the hard-hitting minimalism of Andriessen. (...) The Fight Will Go On (2013) is a 'chamber concerto' whose 19 soloists elaborate a Spanish Civil War anthem as combatively as are these performances from Ensemble Modern with Franck Ollu. (Richard Whitehouse) 
12/2016 " 'Chaos Concert' ist das Ensemble-Stück 'DEZETT' (2007) untertitelt, und in der Tat ist die Musik des Kölner Komponisten Marcus Antonius Wesselmann von unbändiger Energie und scheinbar wild wuchernden Klangkonstellationen geprägt. [...] ... vom Klangbild her wie eine Big Band mit Sand im Getriebe, und auch Frank Zappa guckt gelegentlich mal um die Ecke." (Dirk Wieschollek)
