Modern sonatas are created by violinist Dominique Pifarely and pianist Francois Couturier on this album of originals and covers. The two take turns at leading, other times joining together. The two create spacious dots and dashes during “Lee Surcroit I” , get dramatic on “II” and ominous for “III” while going elliptical on a pretty “I Loves You Porgy”. Cuturier’s modern classical touch is featured on “Song For Harrison/Solitude” with Pifarely in a Sibelius mood on the Eastern European read of “A Nightingale Sang In Berkley”. Cool parlor.
