This review is from: Under the Pyramid (Audio CD)

Dominic Duval's CT String Quartet pulls off another off the cuff, but more thematic work that finds a new space between 12 tone and free jazz. The four musicians deliver highly inspired solos and the result is a modern string quartet classic.

This review is from: Under the Pyramid (Audio CD)

Provided that Pyramid is heard, then it will be a modern string quartet classic. Duval and company lay out different and ever shifting layers of music that terrify and bewilder the listener to the point of how do they do this? The reward is a punishing thematic piece that lays out new territory between modern classicism and jazz, where some terrifying solos result.

This review is from: Under the Pyramid (Audio CD)

Duval and company knock out something special on this recording. An improvised theme runs throughout the cd the leads the musicians into fascinating and terrifying solos. Pyramid finds some new and interesting territory that fills a space between improvisation and modern 12 tone classicism. Under the Pyramid should be destined to be a modern string quartet classic.
