Le Comble De La Distinction
Label: ATMA Catalog: ACD2 2683 Format: CD DAVID JALBERTWorks by Francis Poulenc and Erik Satie feature on David Jalbert’s fourth solo album for ATMA Classique.

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) Price: $20.98 |
