Description of Fauré: Complete Nocturnes

"Jalbert appears to be able to do anything he wants at the piano." ? ClassicsToday

Fauré?s Nocturnes are, after Chopin?s, among the most beautiful and beloved in the piano literature. They span almost his entire creative career, a period of nearly 50 years. This recording attempts to reconcile the two seemingly opposite aspects of Fauré?s piano writing: the clarity of rhythm and texture, and the warm lyricism he inherited from his Romantic predecessors.Pianist David Jalbert is one of the most firebrand talents of the new generation. With his personal style, incomparable stage presence and refined ear, he has convinced audiences and critics everywhere in North America. His first solo disc, dedicated to the works of Corigliano and Rzewski, was launched to great applause on Endeavour in 2004. Another disc of music for cello and piano followed in 2005. Jalbert?s interests in literature, cinema, rock ?n? roll and blues shine through his musical selections, which can be heard regularly on CBC Radio and Radio-Canada broadcasts. Notes in English and French by acclaimed Fauré biographer Jessica Duchen.
