David Rubinstein's numerous works for piano, chamber ensembles and voice are all available here in the Shadow Hills Music Catalog. Many of these titles are recorded by the composer on the CD:
Jamie Allen, director of the Santa Fe New Music YouthFest, wrote: "One-Note Concerto combines a wide range of melodies that are surprisingly woven together through the reiteration - by the “soloist” - of a single pitch (a very high “B”). From carnival-like tunes in the first movement, to introspective waltzes in the second, to a violent (yet lighthearted!) presto in the finale, this concerto aggressively pursues a sense of musical drama with its tongue firmly placed in its cheek." It was premiered as a piano duet at the Santa Fe New Music YouthFest in 2004, and with orchestra by the Hartford Symphony on May 20, 2006.
David Rubinstein has given frequent performances of his own piano works, including Sleepwalking in Los Angeles from Curious Assortment and Piano Music for Two Fingers. Additional performances include the choral work Machaut, performed in 2004 by the Cal State New Music Vocal Ensemble and One-Note Concerto for piano and orchestra, premiered by the Hartford Symphony in May 2006.
