Derek Yaple-Schobert,piano

"...flair for Grieg's idiom. Each of the pieces was appealing taken for itself..." "...Carl Nielsen's Five Piano Pieces, Op. 3...lovely and concise, and well within the performer's ken." - Richard Todd, The Ottawa Citizen, April 14, 2008******************************************************** **************************************** "Yaple-Schobert demonstrated mastery of his art:the Concerto in D Major by Haydn was played with all the subtleties". - Francine Laberge-Gauvreau, The Sherbrooke Tribune***************************************************** ************************************************************ ***"Yaple-Schobert was so easy and informal with the crowd and spoke so well that he gained himself a lot of admirers...they'd been so happy to have things prefaced and explained so well. The audience was unanimous as to their delight: I would have no hesitation booking Derek Yaple-Schobert again and indeed have already recommended him." - Sharon Miller, Programme Chair, Gananoque Concert Association************************************************* *********************************************** "We were enthralled by your recent performance in Gananoque. What a night to remember! Your musical talent is outstanding, but your sensitivity as a person and your genuine love of the classics comes across too, and makes your music even more memorable. When you received a standing ovation, we hoped for an encore, and the interaction with the audience which followed was like the icing on the cake!" - Patricia Anderson d'Addario and Sandro d'Addario, Gananoque Concert Association************************************************* ********************************************** "You lived up to and went beyond every expectation we had of you!" - Klass Tebens, Sarnia Concert Association
