Pierre Jalbert (9 January 1925 – 22 January 2014) was a Canadian skier, actor, and motion picture film and sound editor, primarily known for his roll as "Caje" on the US television 1960's WWII program Combat!.
He was christened Joseph Jacques Pierre-Paul Jalbert in Quebec City, Quebec, the son of a newspaperman. He graduated from Ouellet College, and attended Laval University, where he was part of the University Air Training Corps during World War II.
He was both Canada's Junior and Senior National Ski Champion. In 1948, he was the Captain of Canada's Olympic Ski Team at St. Moritz, but due to breaking his leg in a fall during a practice run, he never skied in the Games. After the Olympics, he was involved with the National Film Board of Canada. Eventually he moved to the United States and worked as a ski instructor at Sun Valley, Idaho, in the 1950s.
In 1952, he went to Hollywood looking for a job, and found employment as a film editor at MGM.
Charles Neidich is an American classical clarinetist, composer, and conductor.
A native New Yorker of Russian and Greek descent, Charles Neidich began his clarinet studies with his father, Irving Neidich, at the age of eight, and continued them with the renowned teacher Leon Russianoff and, later in Moscow, with Boris Dikov. His reputation has grown steadily since his 1974 New York recital début while still a student at Yale. A series of prizes helped launch his early career: the Silver Medal in the 1979 Geneva International Music Competition, Second Prize in the 1982 Munich International Competition and one of three Grand Prizes in the 1984 Accanthes International Competition in Paris. In 1985, he won the first major clarinet competition in the United States, the Walter W. Naumburg Competition, which catapulted him into prominence as a soloist.
Neidich has been influential in restoring original versions of works and bringing them before the public. A list of the clarinet classics he has restored to their original form includes works as diverse as the Mozart Concerto, concertos of Weber and Copland, the Soireestücke of Robert Schumann, and the Andante and Allegro of Ernest Chausson. Neidich supporter of new music and has premiered works by Milton Babbitt, Elliott Carter, Edison Denisov, Helmut Lachenmann, William Schuman, Ralph Shapey, Joan Tower, Katia Tchemberdji, Vasilii Lobanov and others. He has championed John Corigliano's Concerto, performing it throughout the United States notably with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra and Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra in performances. Neidich made numerous recordings on both modern and historical instruments, both as soloist and with his period-instrument wind ensemble Mozzafiato.

Movement One - Charles Neidich, clarinet Pro Arte Quartet: David Perry and Suzanne Beia, violins; Sally Chisholm, viola; Parry Karp, cello from Albany TROY1634 http://www.albanyrecords.com This recording celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Pro Arte Quartet -- the oldest string quartet continuously in existence and the first university-ensemble residency in the United States -- plus the dramatic story of how a prominent European quartet became an American one.

From Texas Music Festival Concert "Made in America." With Kyung Sun Lee, violin, Anthony Kitai, cello, and Brian Suits, piano. Moores Opera House, University of Houston, June 19, 2012.
Whether it is an orchestral work or a composition for chamber ensemble, Pierre Jalbert professes his affection for musical forms both large and small, and especially enjoys the back-and-forth of creating a work for large forces immediately followed by a smaller one. His music is vibrant, lushly scored, and tautly constructed with thoughtfulness and precision. His early exposure to liturgical music gave him an appreciation for the sense of "suspended time" it creates, and his compositions often contrast this type of slow music with highly syncopated, bustling material that propels the work forward.

Polina Streltsova cello Fiona Mato piano "Written for David Finckel and Wu Han who premiered the work at the Aspen Music Festival in the summer of 2008, my Cello Sonata consists of four contrasting movements. The piece is anchored by the slow first movement, the longest and most substantial of the piece. The second , scherzo-like movement is a study in constant motion and shifting accents. The third movement features the cello as a solo instrument with the piano simply providing faint echoes of the cello’s music. This movement grows in intensity and eventually accelerates directly into the last movement, which features frenetic syncopated dance-like rhythms shared and passed between piano and cello."
