(Tchaikovsky Concerto # 1), with persuasive rhetoric and rich tone... her technical grasp was superb!

Rubinova’s account of Tchaikovsky’s First Concerto had the audience on the edge of the seat, the only time that ideas commuted between soloist and orchestra....

Rubinova took risks and most of them came off wonderfully. She has real presence and energy in her playing!
Andrew Clements  THE GUARDIAN
Rubinova’s account of Tchaikovsky’s First Concerto had something to say.
It was of the moment – a real performance, which took off and left everything else behind. It took risks.

Rubinova’s performance had spark engendered by real personality and real musical imagination. I know that the jury are wrong and I am right. I assert it as a fact rather than as a mere opinion.
Stephen Pollard  THE INDEPENDENT
Rubinova has an amazing combination of details and seeing the big picture.
The power and the maturity is staggering!
