A virtuoso with a warm, elegant style and a wide-ranging repertoire, pianist David Jalbert has established himself among the elite of his generation of classical musicians: âJalbertâs piano playing is remarkable for its sweep, confidence, sensitivity, power and color, what more can we ask?â (Fanfare). Named by the CBC among the 15 best Canadian pianists of all time, Mr. Jalbert performs regularly as a soloist and recitalist in Canada and across the globe.
His solo recordings â of the Goldberg Variations, the Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues, of American, French and Russian piano music â have all garnered international praise in venues ranging from Gramophone to France-Culture. He holds degrees from the Juilliard School, the Glenn Gould School, UniversitĂ© de MontrĂ©al and Conservatoire de Musique du QuĂ©bec, and is now a Professor of Piano and the Head of the Piano Sector at the University of Ottawa, as well as a faculty member at the Orford Music Academy.
