Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work

Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons · Recomposed by Max Richter is a complete rewriting of Vivaldi's violin concertos Le quattro stagioni (The Four Seasons). Richter said that he had left out 75 per cent of the original material. What he does use is shifted and repeated in phases, making his background in minimal music and postmodernism audible. The album was released on 31 August 2012 on Deutsche Grammophon, played by violinist Daniel Hope with the Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin under André de Ridder.

Hope plays the Ex-Lipinski, a 1742 Guarneri del Gesù violin. The record topped the iTunes classical chart in the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States. Ivan Hewett of The Telegraph wrote that the friction between Richter's repeating patterns and those of Vivaldi produces an ambiguous colour. The piece received its first UK performance on 31 October 2012 at the Barbican Centre.
