Recorded with violinist Elena Urioste and the musicians of Chineke! Orchestra, The New Four Seasons sees Richter create a new version of his Recomposed score for period instruments – using gut strings and vintage synthesisers to create a “grittier, more punk rock sound”.
MA(TORONTO, ON) - A decade on from the release of his mesmerising Recomposed album, trailblazing composer Max Richter returns to the sound world of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. ‘LIVE AT CHELSEA’ OUTDOOR PERFORMANCE IN LONDON ON 16 JUNE 2022 LISTEN TO ‘SPRING 1’ HERE: DG.lnk.to/recomposed Musically it is very enjoyable and relaxing, but don’t forget to complement it with some good recording of Vivaldi’s original work.GROUND-BREAKING WORK REIMAGINED ON PERIOD INSTRUMENTS WITH NEW COLLABORATORS CHINEKE! ORCHESTRA AND SOLOIST ELENA URIOSTE Overall, this album is highly recommended as pure enjoyment, but also for system auditioning reference material. I have some other albums from them and I’m not disappointed. I must admit that Deutsche Grammophon has done very good sound work. Of course recording technique itself is useless without good musicians and without musical music, fortunately this album is full of them both! Daniel Hope plays so masterfully and has very musical and relaxing violin tone, accompanied by Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin. I really like how main violin parts are recorded - full of tiniest detail, very satisfying to hear minute dynamics and timbres created by bow on strings. Sound is very rich and full of tiny details and nuances. Sound-wise it very enjoyable when listened with speakers or with headphones.
Back then at meeting I really enjoyed listening it and added it to my wish-list. I have digital version of it (that’s why I write about it here), but I have heard it also from vinyl at local Hi-Fi club meeting. It is one of those from my collection that I tend to listen over and over again. Max Richter’s album “Vivaldi: The four seasons recomposed” is very nice album. Actually strictly not “Now listening”, but in general very good album.
