The New Four Seasons (Vivaldi Recomposed)

The original was excellent as it was.But this new take on Richter's Recomposed is very different. The original, which is ten years old now, was tight, light and captured the real playful essence of Vivaldi's original.However, this version feels looser, rawer, more freer. Its soundscape touches more on the synth than the original and you can really tell that the players are using gut strings rather than synthetic ones as the sound is rounder and you can really feel the earthly scrape of the bow against the strings. Yet, it still maintains it's romanticism and sweeping phrases and drama.

40 minutes of some of the beautiful music ever written and submitted to disc. Just buy it, you know you want it.

Pre ordered and not disappointed. As expected from composer. Beautiful recreation of original work.

Max Richter has done it again!! I loved his original, but the new one does not disappoint, Great Album, great to chill to whether your in the car, office or music room. Music like this is the reason Vinyl was invented….

Vivaldi. Even with the most tepid of musical appreciation you know and love Vivaldi. If you are like me, you are constantly disappointed with the reinterpretations and new compositions as, as I believe, it is nigh impossible to improve his works and can only detract from it.How staggeringly wrong I've been.After hearing his Spring re composition on the radio, I rushed home and purchased his MP3 album and am now listening to my third re playing, like a teenager with bootlegged cassette tape, wondering what a beautiful mind this Max Richter must have to turn a grown man into this blubbering fan-girl.
