I've listened to all the 15 full sound clips of the Rubsam's Sinfonias on
Naxos:

I got a mixed impression:  at first I was charmed with his pensive wavy
"jazz-like" playing style.  But I continued listening and almost all
remaining sinfonias appeared to be played...  in the same manner.

I don't want to generalize but I do think that Rubsam's sinfonias are
are more similar to each other than Gould's, for instance.  I prefer
contrast between, eg sinfonias Nr. 2 and Nr. 15 and Rubsam hardly gives
any contrast.  Although hearing Rubsam's 15th sinfonia for the first time
was a great discovery.
