Born in New York City in 1949 and currently a native of Los Angeles, David Rubinstein began playing the piano at age six. His acclaimed world premiere recording of Sibelius piano works, made at the age of 21, was released by Musical Heritage Society, and has currently been re-issued by Musicus Recordings. He studied piano with George Kochevitsky and later participated in master classes with Claudio Arrau and William Masselos. He has participated in recording sessions for all the major film studios, including several on-screen performances.

David Rubinstein has performed throughout the U.S. and Europe with appearances including Zipper Hall in Los Angeles, the National Gallery of Art, London's Wigmore Hall, Lincoln Center, the Whittier College Bach Festival, the San Diego Convention Center, the Dame Myra Hess Series in Chicago, and numerous international radio broadcasts. Orchestral appearances have included the Cal State L.A. Baroque Ensemble, Westlake Festival Orchestra, Hudson Symphony, Hilversum Radio Orchestra, and the South Bend Symphony. He has recorded a wide range of repertoire including Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Busoni, Chopin, Prokofiev, and Schumann, as well as his own works. In a 2009 concert dubbed "Rubinstein plays Rubenstein" he performed on the world's longest commercially available piano (12 feet), built by master piano builder David Rubenstein (no relative of David Rubinstein) at the Rubenstein factory in El Segundo, California.
