Dominique Pifarely's quartet provides a marvelous context for the full range of the French violinist's expression. Pifarely thrives in the unstable territory between improvisation and composition. His pieces here establish ideas, structural elements and themes to encourage textural, lyrical and abstract improvising to develop energetically in the moment. The interplay amongst the players is consistently dynamic and engaging, and Pifarely is inspired to some of his finest soloing. <br/>
