“Of the excellent interpretation of António Saiote we mostly remember an intelligent delimitation of sonorous plans, resultant of an organic phrasing, always very expressive emission, and of a natural and extremely flexible presence, where the gesture always corresponds to the sound.” 
Fernando Lapa, Public, 1995 

“António Saiote played with virtuosic brilliance, very appealing and expressive throughout, with great style, control, and conviction.” 
James Gillespie, Magazine of the International Association of the Clarinet, 1992

 “The clarity and the security of his markings are indications that an excellent clarinetist can become an excellent conductor.” 
Alexandre Delgado, Público, 1997 

“In the remaining parts, the trio was well, with most special prominence for the performance of António Saiote. The clarinetist played in splendid form, with very polished sounds, and an extraordinary feeling of phrase. Saiote possesses the quality to vary the timbres without sacrificing the continuity of the time, fact that not always is present in soloists of international reputation. Watchful of the other musician’s nuances, Saiote did not seek false protagonisms and played exquisitely many of naturalistic details in the German texts.” 
Rui Pereira, Public, 2003 

“The Remix Ensemble disclosed a cohesion optimized for the seriousness, precision and energy of the conducting of António Saiote, fundamental piece of the whole set.” 
Cristina Fernandes, Public, 2001 

“António Saiote, conductor, discloses same to the qualities that are recognized in him as a clarinetist: refined felt of phrase; organic drawing of lines, points, plans; expressive reading of all. The clarinet is an extraordinary ductile instrument; the conducting of António Saiote also: He is simple and rigorous, but modulated and with flexible gesture, he shows us that sound has life (it is born, grows and dies).” 
Fernando Lapa, Public, 1997 

“António Saiote, to consider such a suggestive program, revealed qualities as competence, musicality, and charisma, and that explains the unquestionable success of this concert. António Saiote discloses that type of empathy that is capable of immobilizing a large number of people for one and perfect objective, in the short time of one week. Also, the conducting of António Saiote is clear and expressive. Elegant, also. The teacher knows how to be understood (…) as it cannot be forgotten the perfect conducting of the orchestra in the last picture of the Pines of Rome, from the light melody of the beginning until the tremendous finale, in long and a skillful crescendo.” 
Fernando Lapa, Public, 1999

“对安东尼奥的出色诠释，我们大多记得的评价是：措辞得当，富有表现力，自然而灵活，手势总是与声音相对应。”费尔南多.拉帕. 帕布利克. 1995“安东尼奥在艺术上的才华，很有吸引力，很有表现力，有很好的风格，控制，和信念。”詹姆斯.吉莱斯皮，国际单簧管协会杂志，1992年“他清晰明了的指挥表明一个优秀的单簧管演奏家可以成为一个优秀的指挥家。”亚历山大. 德尔加多. 帕布利克.1997“在剩下的部分，三重唱很好，是安东尼奥最突出的表演，这位单簧管演奏者以华丽的形式演奏，以非常优美的声音，和一种非凡的措辞感。他具有不用再延续时间内改变音色的才能。事实上并不是一直是出现在国际有名的独奏中。对其他音乐家的细微差别的观察中，他并没有寻求虚假的主角们，并在德国的文本中精致的扮演了许多自然主义的细节。佩雷拉.帕布利克.2003“混音合奏呈现了一种安东尼奥指导作品的那种严肃，准确和活力的结合，整集的基础部分。克里斯蒂娜，费尔南多，帕布利克，2001
“安东尼奥，作为指挥家呈现了同样的品质，这样的品质足以体现他作为一名单簧管手的品质：措辞精炼，有机绘制点、线、所有的计划；表现性阅读。单簧管是一个非凡的易延展的乐器；安东尼奥的指挥也是：他简单而严谨，但姿态灵活多变，但灵活的调和与节目的声音和手势，他告诉我们声音有生命的（它是出生的，生长的和死亡的）。
费尔南多.拉帕. 帕布利克. 1997“安东尼奥，能够激发人们想象力，显示了诸如能力、音感、魅力等品质，这就致使一场音乐会无可置疑的成功。安东尼开启了这种移情能力，他能在短短的一周把大部分人固定为一个完美目标。此外，安东尼奥的指挥也很清晰和富有表现力并且很优雅。老师知道如何被理解(…)，因为在罗马松树的最后一幅照片的管弦乐队的完美指挥不能被遗忘的，从开始的淡淡的旋律直到宏伟的结局，以一种持续的熟练的渐强音。”
