![]() Max RichterDaniel HopeKonzerthaus Kammerorchester BerlinAndr de Ridder. Brilliantly produced and engineered, this set is most highly recommended. Recomposed By Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons. The digital sounds that Richter weaves into the original 2014 recording to give basslines more weight have been replaced here with the dirtier, grainier heft of early synths, including one of the very first: the iconic and rare Minimoog from the 1970s. ![]() 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. Using post-minimalist procedures to extract fertile fragments and reshape the materials into new music, Richter has created an album that speaks to a generation familiar with remixes, sampling, and sound collages, though his method transcends the manipulation of prerecorded music. 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. Leave it to Deutsche Grammophon to reinvent itself as a luxe electronica publisher for the modern age.
