There is no composer who has defined the true nature of religious experience with more clarity than the living composer Alexander Knaifel. His compositions, the notes themselves, are made up of small, brief flirtations with Grace. It is these stretched that make up the music itself. A music, he believes, that comes from God, not through having been tapped or chosen, but through an intensely powerful intrinsic musicianship acting as receiver to the cosmic radio. He is the least appreciated of the modern composers who share the Russian Orthodox faith.
