Sylvain Cambreling - Ballets Russes 6 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

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. 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 InchAntiphonesInch and cellist Larissa Groeneveld presents InchRevelationInch, a concerto for cello solo.

The second volume in this series (Volume1is on 8.574005) continues to explore little-known examples of Auber's elegant and refined operatic music. Julie was his first stage work, it's fantasia-like beauty foreshadowing the operas, opéras-comiques and lyric dramas to come. Striking melodies and haunting episodes abound in these overtures and entr'actes, and there is restrained yet fragrant Iberian color in the overture to Léocadie. The Violin Concerto is lightly scored and gentle, with a tarantella-like finale full of folk vitality.
