Nov. 9, 2006 New York Times review:
"A Brief Festival Celebrates Solo Piano for the Untimid" PDF
"A remarkable lineup of contemporary and late twentieth-century works."
Alex Ross, The New Yorker
"A wonderful survey of recent and lesser known piano compositions, admirably
performed throughout with attention and intense emotion…a program rich in
compelling melodic and textural content."
Jeff Harrington, Sequenza 21
"Kudos to Joseph Rubenstein for imagining three evenings of nothing but
contemporary music for solo piano, and then attracting some of the best
talents in town to the intimate, salon-like room in Greenwich House Music
School."
Bruce Hodges, Musicweb-international.com
"Keys to the Future offers a varied and wonderful program which is opening
the future to our ears."
David Garland, WNYC 93.9FM
