Info for Time Before and Time After

Dominique Pifarély war zuletzt vor über einem Jahrzehnt auf einer ECM-Aufnahme zu hören - mit Stefano Battaglia auf Re: Pasolini. In den 1990erJahren leitete er zusammen mit Louis Sclavis ein Quartett, und machte Aufnahmen im Duo mit Francois Couturier.

Umso willkommener ist es, nun ein Zeugnis seiner heutigen Kreativität in Form dieses bemerkenswerten Soloviolinen-Albums zu erhalten. Time Before and Time After entlehnt seinen Titel einem Gedicht von TS Eliot („Burnt Norton“); die Namen fast aller Stücke in diesem höchst erfindungsreichen Rezital beziehen sich auf Dichtung.

Besondere Widmungen gehen an Mahmoud Darwish, Fernando Pessoa, André du Bouchet, Henri Michaux, Paul Celan, Juan Gelman, und Bernard Noël. Das Album schließt mit einem solitären Jazz-Standard, Victor Youngs „My Foolish Heart“, in dem Pifarély die herrliche Melodie inspiriert ausschmückt.

Dominique Pifarély, Violine


Dominique Pifarély
is a musician who thrives in the unstable territory between improvisation and composition, and his pieces here establish ideas, structural elements and themes which encourage textural, lyrical and abstract improvising to develop in the moment. The interplay amongst the players is dynamic, exploratory and engaging, inspiring Dominique to fine and differentiated soloing. The free movement of energy is central to the music, which incorporates group improvising, luminous counterpoint, intense inner pulsations and open, lyrical expanses.

This quartet was founded in the spring of 2014, but Pifarély, bassist Bruno Chevillon and drummer François Merville have been regularly crossing each other’s musical paths for a few decades. They are cornerstone players of improvised music in France and they’ve brought new impulses to it, other ways of thinking about freedom and form. The band is completed by pianist Antonin Rayon, making a first appearance on ECM.
