Max Richter is one of the most influential figures of the contemporary music scene, producing ground-breaking work as a recording artist, composer, pianist and collaborator. My aim was to fall in love with the original again – and I have.” “It’s so dynamic, so full of amazing images. “The original Four Seasons is a phenomenally innovative and creative piece of work,” said Max Richter.
“Max Richter’s new version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons shows that the classical remix has finally come of age” stated The Telegraph, and remarked, “It’s almost impossible to come to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with completely fresh ears, but this mesmerising album enables listeners to rediscover these amazing works, creating entirely new music with a minimalist Baroque twist.” Recomposed By Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons, featuring violinist Daniel Hope and the Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin symphony orchestra conducted by André de Ridder, topped the classical chart in 22 countries.

He sought to do so in an accessible style that mirrored Vivaldi’s intentions with the piece, rather than to place a twentieth century Modernist imprint on it.
