40 years of Euphony

Book Euphony – The Sound of Life by Daniel Levy
A pioneering book that deals with the effects of sound on the human being, offering a detailed analysis of the meaning and function of music and the reasons why it is a golden key to the knowledge of ourselves and of the universe.

“…one can only acknowledge Levy’s devotion and breadth of understanding of this vital expression of our Being and unreservedly recommend this book to all genuine seekers of Self recognition through Sound and Silence.”
Peter Harrison, Watkins Books, London, UK

“Levy offers, in new ways, some meanings and aspects of sound and the function of music in all manifestations of existence. Physical sound is the reverberation of inaudible Sound matter… We learn that in every individual there exists a euphonic nucleus, which can be unveiled, enlarged and utilised…Levy’s book is pleasant and easy to read, even though it discusses profound and specific matters. Those for whom it is intended will recognise the message and the teaching, and, after having read and understood it, will no longer be the same…”
Prof. G. Zuco, International Magazine of Psychology, Italy

“Here one sees how much Daniel Levy has elaborated upon the thinking of Alain Daniélou and how much he has concluded from that which his work had left to the intuition. Euphony, as the place to encounter the origins of music-life, works to reunite us with the natural function of music, which recent years of technicalism have interrupted. What Euphony points to is an ecology of the unconscious, an attempt to re-find the consciousness of natural functions, on which the symbol of archetypes depend.”
Prof. Raffaele Morelli, Psicosomatica Magazine, Italy

“In this excellent book – a true hymn to the sense of hearing – all the paths that lead to the profound experience of the individual and universal Self are taken through Sound. Sound as an acoustic vibration, as a musical inspiration, as a language, as a listening experience, as harmony and health for body and mind, as space and as an archetype of forms… To have knowledge of our inner note and to attune ourselves to it, is the equivalent of knowing the secret name of the ancient Egyptians…”
Hera Magazine, Italy

Music as Life in Motion. A selection of vibrant and euphonic music.

The Euphonic Sound of Edelweiss Emission is the conquest of an internal and external space, which forms music beyond its surrounding conditions. In offering a service to Music, it is not enough today to employ the most sophisticated instruments that technology provides and link them to an excellent performance. A new listening ‘space’ also calls for a recovery of music, which is lived and transmitted in its own quality of vital force.

Edelweiss Emission therefore takes into account the artistic maturity of musicians, the heights of classical and traditional repertoire, the venues which are themselves significant, but, above all, the synergic ethical-aesthetic effect. Edelweiss Emisssion’s recordings intend to reach the public by providing live musical experiences. The resonant space that is contained in every record opens new dimensions of listening, closer to true significance. A further distinguishing characteristic of Edelweiss Emission is the belief that number is sound, therefore quality imposes itself on quantity. So too in its choice of performers, Euphonic Sound springs from a synthesis of humanity and artistic professionalism, a unique and fundamental unity.

Robert Schumann said that ‘In Music the soul senses its own celestial Fatherland’. Edelweiss Emission, using the most appropriate technical, human, artistic and spatial means, truly embodies this motto, the memory of which looks to the avant-garde for future artistic achievements.

Music for piano and resonance composed and performed by Daniel Levy.
From ‘The 7 Tones of Balance’, the musical-therapeutical treatment inspired by Pythagoras.

“One may wonder how this music can take one to another dimension from the very first two notes of the ‘Tone’. It seems extraordinarily easy and natural to penetrate an inner space-time dimension that crosses borders and known feelings to expand into regions of immense breath, feeling the certainty of resting one’s existence on eternity.”
Teresa Dello Monaco, Listening Trainer

“… I want to learn to play the piano and devote myself to music all day, because the harmony that is within us wants to express itself and make us always happy and serene.”  
 Laura Condelli, Holistic Therapist

“… it puts the individual in a state of greater serenity, decreasing the beta waves in favour of the alpha waves and thereby increasing the healing, creative and expressive potential of a person.”   
Yuri Rebollini, Vocal Trainer and Holistic Facilitator

“I feel a sense of comfort and peace that gives me, as a result, the will to pick myself up again every time something in life wants to knock me down.” 
Barbara Naldi, Nutritionist

‘Improvisations’ for piano lovingly dedicated to Beethoven. Daniel Levy, piano

“Scents, sensations and colours of a musical landscape that enraptures the heart and soul. The notes interpreted, and even more so those improvised by Levy, transport us beyond the boundaries of the ordinary sense of beauty. Vibrating, the essences of a profound humanity and of a life path that becomes a wise and loving gift shared through sound, soar through the air. Clearly perceived if we allow ourselves to resonate within.
Mirrors, stories and intentions, through the music of a soul that gives itself fully to the listener. Here comes an art tempered and forged by a sought-after and intentional expression of inner harmony. A silent origin of an extremely conscious touch on the piano keys.
It moves us and skilfully mediates between the hidden collective truths and the consciousness of the listener. It caresses the strings of our feelings, which are so threatened these days, and reassures them. It invites them to wonder and, without any fear, to Be.”
Enrico Giurdanella, Musician – Italy

“The melodies, harmonic richness, use of dynamics, modulations, ostinatos, rhythm… The music generated a feeling that we can define as “peace”. A sensation that went right through me, lasting for the next few days. An insight? An intuition? I don’t know what the correct term is, but this experience led me to feel, at that moment, deeply rooted in the here and now. It was from this intense contact with the present experience that the past and future ceased to exist. And to perceive with certainty that something does not exist also makes the related emotion change, such as fear, for example… I believe that music had the function of a switch, a light bulb, a light that comforts and suddenly allows you to see beyond the projections of the mind.”
Fabio de Vincentis, Music Therapist – Italy

“Listening to Daniel Levy’s concert was a real gift. I’m not an expert in music but I could still feel the energy that causes his piano to resonate in my heart and soul. A time to fly in peace, to feel joy and thousands of emotions where he transports me with his music. The most wonderful thing is that he generates everything from his ability to improvise… I think it’s brilliant. Thank you Daniel for releasing this “Vibration” to the world, keep on resonating! I hope he never stops doing concerts like this.”
Mara Ruiz, Business Transformation Expert – Spain

“I am still in awe of Maestro Daniel Levy’s music. An infinite peace that I haven’t felt… I don’t even know since when. I would like to thank all those who have worked hard to allow us to enjoy such beauty and experience such deep and fulfilling emotions. Thank you all and a big thank you to Maestro Levy for the gift of his magnificent Music.”
Maria Pia Gustinelli, Teacher – Italy

“I never listen to classical music, but from now on it will be on my priority list. I am so happy and grateful for having come across to surely one of the most splendid opportunities to experience unparalleled peace, harmony and complete and profound well-being. Other ways of playing the piano have never given this to me. Thank you very much for making me finally able to understand what one can feel through listening to classical music!”
Houri Aguilian, Holistic Coach – Armenia

“I downloaded the ‘Piano Improvisations’ – Daniel Levy playing one piece after the other, starting with “Voices” and ending with “Towards the Light” . This was a big gift to me. The music Levy makes goes deep inside me and can take me out of the sense of time. Each listening is a healing experience. And the sequence of the pieces in this collection is beautifully arranged so that it prepares me for the final piece, which seals the catharsis. This requires serious deep listening and Levy’s playing draws me into this state of mind-body. Thank you. “
V. Rodiani, Psychiatrist – Greece

Schumann Piano Concerto in A Minor Op.54; Konzertstück Op.92
Daniel Levy, piano, Philharmonia Orchestra, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, conductor and declamation.

“An all-time great recording of the Schumann Concerto, lovingly phrased and exultantly voiced, matched by a heart-rending account of Op. 92 Konzertstück and rare Fischer-Dieskau Bonuses.”
Julian Haylock, BBC Music Magazine

“This is one of the most ingratiating, thoughtful, and lyrical performances of the Schumann Piano Concerto that I have ever heard… Levy and his partner, legendary singer turned conductor Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, find a quality of dramatic interplay that is quite magical.”
Fanfare, USA

“An unusual and imaginative Schumann programme presented with imposing interpretative flair.”
Ian Lace, MusicWeb International UK

Art inspired by Music: an art print by Marga Baigorria.

From the collection of transparencies called ‘Painting with Light’ by Marga Baigorria, artist and photographer, and the creator of the method ‘Eucromy’.

“Marga Baigorria pursues sensations, stabilises them or discovers them in veils that she manages with a dream-like sensibility, which is at the same time absolutely concrete. It is not difficult to be fascinated by her incessant search.”
Carlo Montanaro

“Stop to look and perceive the essence – not just of the work itself – but of your life that is reflected in these works of art like a mirror.”
Francesca Ruth Brandes

“The future of the artist is marked by a unique and powerful path, one that leads to Intuition. Intuition is the key, the door and bridge to achieve – with a new awareness – other ways of creating. To create something alive and latent that touches the heart with its beauty, and amplifies with its vibration that contact with the human being which observes and listens.”
Marga Baigorria
