Additional Information
Certainly one of Canada’s finest concert pianists, Quebec’s David Jalbert completed his recording of the complete cycle of piano sonatas by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev this past fall. For the third and final recording of this cycle on the Atma Classique label, Jalbert brings together three key works: Sonatas Nos. 8 and 9, as well as the Sarcasms, Op. 17. Since his early teens, Jalbert has dedicated himself to mastering Prokofiev’s sonatas, exploring their full pianistic richness. Here, he explains the nature of these works, their structure, their technical challenges, and their expressive range. PAN M 360 reached him at his home in the National Capital Region, where he is a full professor of piano at the University of Ottawa. David Jalbert also embodies this repertoire on stage: the first of 3 programs was given this fall at Salle Bourgie, two others are planned for March and June 2026.
