Pianist Jeffrey LaDeur's artistry has been hailed by Gramophone Magazine for it's "... understatement, simplicity and 'old school' chord playing where every note sings out with meaning." Critic Henry Fogel wrote "... LaDeur's ability to spin out a cantabile line makes one forget that the piano is actually a percussive instrument." LaDeur is the founder and artistic director of the San Francisco International Piano Festival, and president of the American Liszt Society, San Francisco Bay Area Chapter. An Artist's Journey is his debut recording on Music & Arts.
