"My favorite pianist."
American Record Guide (March/April 1998):
"...of the infamous piano piece Herma (by Iannis Xenakis)..Justin Rubin puts the piece across with cliff-edge intensity. Ditto for the concerto-like Palimpsest, which will have your neighbors heading for high ground in this take-no-prisoners performance." -Arved Ashby
Arizona Daily Star (April 25, 1998):
"The Rheinberger (Concerto No.1 for organ) was memorable... Rubin's cadenza flowed smartly along....Rubin performed two solo works (Coelho and Weckmann)....Both were energetic...and Rubin captured their vigor with supple, eloquent playing." -Ken Keufferl Jr.
La Lettre du Musicien, Paris (March 1 - 15, 1998):
"They performed Xenakis' music with incomparable concentration and strength, with the precision of a sculptor, exactly as this incredibly virtuostic music requires. Among the six works presented in the program, Herma for piano (1960-61) sounded like an outright classic in Justin Rubin's interpretation which flowed so naturally..."- Bruno Serrou
Fanfare (September/October 1996):
"Eonta (by Iannis Xenakis)...is a magnificent achievement. As with the curtain-raiser (Plekto), we again hear Justin Rubin's remarkable piano....At the concert, I'd a hard time believing how well Rubin handled his surpassingly difficult part." -Mike Silverton
Sunday Times, Great Britain (August 25,1996):
"The earliest of the five pieces (by Iannis Xenakis) is Eonta ...with a phenomenally proliferating piano part well taken by Justin Rubin."
Gerre Hancock:
"Justin Rubin...performed (Hugo Distler) so beautifully..."
Richard Felciano:
