“The American Pianist, John Robilette is a musician of engaging individuality, with a tellingly attractive piano tone and idiosyncratic interpretive approach...It was this blend of intriguing musical idiosyncracy and outlook that captivated the enthusiastic audience at his recital at London's St. John's...With such unusual programming and readings, yet with a strikingly attractive piano tone, John Robilette is a musician to watch, and listen out for.”

“The Variations symphoniques is an excellent performance, very sensitively played by the soloist and supported by the fine Russian orchestra under an American conductor. He also gives us a beautiful version of the Prelude, Chorale et Fugue, lively playing of a piece that can be tedious. John Robilette also offers idiomatic versions of miniatures by Faure, and Poulenc along with three of the four Chopin Impromptus”(“French Piano Album,” ProArte, CDS 3491).
