TRIPLE FORTE
Triple Forte was born in late 2003, and was an instant success:
the trio performed over 35 concerts in its first active
season, and immediately drew rave reviews for its high musicianship,
dashing virtuosity and liveliness on stage. Tours have now
taken them through Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba,
and the Maritime provinces. In its few years of existence,
Triple Forte has already recorded several broadcasts for
CBC Radio, showcasing an already wide-ranging repertoire.
The Beethoven Triple Concerto has proven to be a great vehicle
for this group of accomplished soloists and recording artists,
and is a cornerstone of the group’s repertoire –
they have performed it several times with orchestras such
as the Orchestre Symphonique de Longueuil and Symphony New
Brunswick, with conductors Marc David and Stéphane
Laforest respectively. New projects are pouring in for this
young trio which ‘performs with intensity, finesse’
(Winnipeg Free Press) and an energy level that befits Canada’s
newest chamber music asset.
Violinist Jasper Wood has established himself as a major
talent of his generation. He made his first public appearance
at the age of five, and has since captured the hearts of
music lovers everywhere with his “thrilling virtuosity”
(The Strad) and his “sweet tunefulness edged in melancholy”
(Washington Post).
An acclaimed competition winner, Wood has developed a flourishing
reputation as a sought-after soloist with major orchestras
including Canada’s Montreal and Toronto Symphonies
and as a recital/chamber musician throughout North America
and Europe. He has been awarded both the coveted Sylva Gelber
Prize (1996) and the prestigious Virginia Parker Award (2004)
from the Canada Council for the Arts.
Mr. Wood has seven solo and violin/piano CD recordings
on the Endeavor Classics, Analekta, Centrediscs, Disques
Pelleas and Naxos labels. Jasper Wood is professor of violin
at the University of British Columbia.
“Even before reaching thirty, Dyachkov is undoubtedly
a cellist of great stature: the natural bowing, the rich,
deep sound, the total concentration, the interpretative
sense, he has it all.” (La Presse, Montréal).
Cellist Yegor Dyachkov was named Canadian “Artist
of the Year” in 2000. An impressive recitalist, soloist,
and chamber musician, he tours internationally, and his
performances are broadcast and televised in Canada and abroad.
His schedule includes invitations from the Évian,
Kronberg, Tanglewood and Vancouver festivals as well as
from the Geneva Chamber Orchestra, the Royal Phiharmonic
of Flanders, the Montréal Symphony Orchestra and
the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
Yegor Dyachkov has premiered works dedicated to him such
as the Sonata by Jacques Hétu, Ironman by Michael
Oesterle, as well as Menuhin : Présence by the late
André Prévost. Winning the Orford International
Competition led to an invitation from the Chandos label
to record his debut CD in 1997. His other acclaimed recordings
can be found on the Brioso, Pelléas and Analekta
labels. Born in Moscow in 1974, Yegor Dyachkov‘s principal
mentors have been Aleksandr Fedorchenko in Moscow, Yuli
Turovsky in Montréal and Boris Pergamenschikow in
Cologne.
Pianist David Jalbert, with his personal style, incomparable
stage presence and refined ear, has made himself one of
the flag-bearers of the new generation: “Jalbert dazzles
with skill, style and taste… with all the finesse
and exuberance a listener could want” (Toronto Star).
Mr. Jalbert won several competitions, the Canada Council’s
Sylva Gelber award, and earned a Gold Medal of the Governor
General for his Masters Degree (Université de Montréal).
His studies also took him to Toronto’s Glenn Gould
School and to the Juilliard School in New York.
His first solo disc (works of Corigliano and Rzewski, released
on Endeavour Classics in 2004) was followed up in 2006 by
his acclaimed recording of Fauré’s Complete
Nocturnes. He also recorded twice with cellist Denise Djokic,
with whom he earned a Juno nomination in 2005 for Folklore.
David Jalbert performs regularly across North America.
