Info for The Uncertainty Principle

“The Uncertainty Principle” is a journey into the mystical musical world of Russian composer Alexandre Danilevski, where music and instruments from the middle ages to modern day meet and create an unexpectedly beautiful soundscape.

Danilevskis’ compositions are at the same time refering to ancient sources and to modern art and science, moving through centuries of musical and aesthetic developments with ease and free of conventional restrictions regarding musical styles and paradigmas. On this recording, Danilvski’s own ensemble Syntagma interprets two of his works for mixed ensemble and voice, while the Flanders Recorder Quartet plays his “Antiphones” and cellist Larissa Groeneveld presents “Revelation”, a concerto for cello solo.

Ensemble Syntagma:
Zsuzsanna Tóth, soprano
Akira Tachikawa, counter-tenor
Atsushi Moriya, recorders
Nima Ben David, viola da gamba
Sophia Danilevski, viola da gamba
Christophe Deslignes, organetto
Alexandre Danilevski, lute, composer

Flanders Recorder Quartett:
Tom Beets
Bart Spanhove
Paul Van Loey
Joris Van Goethem
Larissa Groeneveld, violoncello

Alexandre Danilevski - Composer
In St Petersburg, Alexandre was a student of Galina Ustvolskaya. His passion for modern music brought him, after his studies in classical music, to learn about early music which he studied, after his emigration in France, at the Scola Cantorum Basilensis (Switzerland). He created then the ensemble of early music Syntagma, now one of the leaders in this domain.

He says that his music isn’t one that belongs in a museum, but that he only performs modern music, no matter when it was written, even if it dates back to 800 years. There exist some “new” music which appears like old mistakes. On the real matter, time has no power.

For him music is a way to learn about the inner-self. It exists to discover something in yourself and to understand it. It is a necessity for a superior quality of life, you just have to re-orient the listening from outside to inside. And, by playing Danilevski’s music, we are invited to listen to ourselves.
