“Pierre Jalbert writes music that is direct, speaks to the mind, heart, and soul, traverses a musical landscape, and expresses a wide range of emotion,” the Huffington Post said. On Secret Alchemy [with] Music from Copland House… the four works are played expertly and the sound is to perfection. Standouts are violinist Curtis Macomber and pianist Michael Boriskin who appear on most of the pieces.
“The concerto’s most arresting music came in the outer sections of the opening movement, where slithering piano glissandos and twinkling percussion meshed with wispy violins to conjure a magically airborne texture.”
SPCO concertmaster Steven Copes took the stage as soloist for Jalbert’s Violin Concerto. By turns haunting and menacing in the early going, the two-movement concerto became an absorbing meditation.
The rocks star at the Moab Music Festival: Chamber, jazz, and folk bands all sound pitch-perfect tucked into the grottoes of Utah’s rust-colored desert.
Jalbert’s “alternately contemplative and gritty” Canticle (String Quartet No. 6) was given its New York premiere at the Metropolitan Museum of Art by the Chiara String Quartet, for which it was written.
