Description
For his latest ATMA Classique recording project, pianist David Jalbert tackles the complete cycle of Prokofiev's piano sonata; this ambitious undertaking will be released in three separate volumes starting in September 2021.
The first volume features four piano sonatas from Prokofiev's Russian period, which ended in 1918 with his departure for America. These are paired with four short pieces for piano, including the famous Suggestion diabolique (Diabolic suggestion).
A renowned virtuoso with a warm, elegant style and a wide-ranging repertoire, David Jalbert has established himself among the elite of a new generation of classical musicians: "Jalbert's piano playing is remarkable for its sweep, confidence, sensitivity, power and color, what more can we ask?" (Fanfare).
David Jalbert has won five Opus Awards, has been nominated for three JUNO Awards, and was the 2007 laureate of the prestigious Virginia Parker Prize of the Canada Council for the Arts. He holds degrees from the Juilliard School, the Glenn Gould School, Universite de Montreal and Conservatoire de musique du Quebec. He is an Associate Professor of Piano at the University of Ottawa.
