Press Reviews "Consumately executed and effortlessly played, Cathedral is a beautiful aural painting of extraordinary variety. Heart of Solace (working title), Rubenstein and Roman Morykit's newest release, is a magnifient collection of songs more in a somber mood. I must admit, since receiving this disc I have yet to take it from the player which sits on my bed's nightstand. Rubenstein has succeeded in doing what I thought was not possible, that is to surpass Cathedral in both diversity and splendor. Both Cathedral and Heart of Solace are stunning pieces of work.(Carpe Noctem)" "Cathedral is gorgeous not only in its implementation and seamless hybrid of piano and technology, but in its ambition... it really is worth the trip." (Campus Circle)"Once again Rubenstein has unveiled new creative territory with Cathedral. Hisclever crossing of genres mixed with his own unique signature, makes for afresh new sound that grooves you one minute and rocks you then next.CATHEDRAL takes us on a mind's eye voyage from the backstreets of blues, tothe outer reaches of the imagination."(Jim Barrett, NBC TELEVISION)"..the effect is quite impressive. The best use of technology I've heard in quite a while." (Aiding & Abetting)
