Busoni  
Seven Elegies for Piano
Bach-Busoni  Chaconne in D minor

Total playing time: 60:30 
(Musicus Recordings M1001, Digital)

"...a fine disk of,
possibly, Busoni’s most approachable piano
work in the modern style, in performances
worthy of the music."
-MusicWeb
International (February 2008)

"This is a very fine recording of Busoni's Seven Elegies and transcription of Bach's Chaconne, so fine that one appreciates the music anew and the player for his taste and intelligence. David Rubinstein is an outstanding pianist with a big sound, a muscular technique, and a powerful attack. Better than that, he has a keen mind that appreciates the austere but revolutionary genius of Busoni's music and above all the death defying intensity of the Chaconne transcription."
James Leonard in All Music Guide  (June 2008)

Sibelius

"With his probing interpretations, Rubinstein finds depths in these works that most other pianists of any nationality fail to notice. Recorded in crisp, full sound in RCA's Studio A, this disc belongs on every suitably inclusive Sibelius shelf."
James Leonard in All Music Guide  (June 2008)
