Piano Impossible
As well as a prolific composer, Edelstein has a "formidable" piano technique that was most recently commented on in his work, Rivers and Mirrors: Part I during his UK tour in 2007. He makes the distinction that he is a composer that plays the piano, not a pianist. Thus he always looks for new timbres and originality in both his playing and his compositions.
- ION (2007)

- Rivers and Mirrors: Part I (2007)
Edelstein uses his aria, "El Rio", again in his work Rivers and Mirrors: Part I with singer Deborah Claire Procter (Wales) who also made the film to accompany the performance with the dancer Sandra Grinberg of the Trisha Brown Dance Company. This work, in which Edelstein also plays the piano, was premiered in the UK in 2007 to an enthusiastic response from audiences and critics.
