Music

  • “The pianist, John Robilette gave a very convincing recital in the hall of the Working community, 'Am Bruckwald,' with crystal clear playing, clear rhythms and a very sensitive touch..His playing is like the 'Golden Age' of piano playing. What is meant by that? One observes that his technique is at the service of art, it is not an end in itself.”

  • “....Horowitzean flair.......far ranging dynamism, and admittedly at times with a splashy style, yet by no means without the humor of a true virtuoso.”
