Brilliantly produced and engineered, this set is most highly recommended. Fronted by noted contemporary violinist Daniel Hope, with Berlin’s Kammerorchestra conducted by André de Ridder in toe, Richter sustains and advances Vivaldi’s original to a level at once home in a classical music context as well as a more modern, coming-of-age cinematic experience. His influences-Philip Glass, the Beatles, Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd-seem readily identifiable throughout his work.Įven as the term “remix” usually pertains to club sounds, here, Richter decomposes Vivaldi’s masterpiece by filtering the essentials of each season through various sound processors and digging into the digital ProTools maze. Who better to lead the charge than German-born Max Richter who, growing up in England, took a fondness for fusing electronic, classical, and rock themes into what he labels the “post-classical” genre. Composer Max Richter has done a brave thing for any artist in any medium: Hes messed with a classic, specifically, Vivaldi s four violin concertos known as The Four Seasons.
Leave it to Deutsche Grammophon to reinvent itself as a luxe electronica publisher for the modern age. On Vivaldi Recomposed Max Richter, the award-winning British composer, who has written concert music, film scores, and a series of acclaimed solo albums.
