Works by Francis Poulenc and Erik Satie feature on David Jalbert's fourth solo album for ATMA Classique. The piano music of Poulenc is eclectic, often tongue-in-cheek, witty, even flippant, and unapologetically sentimental. His Improvisations cycle pays homage to Edith Piaf and Franz Schubert. During the 1960s, Satie rose to prominence as a non-conformist--a warrior for musical freedoms and a champion for the abolition of established values. The CBC recently named David Jalbert as one of the 15 all-time best Canadian pianists. "Jalbert dazzles with skill, style and taste…" (Toronto Star).
