Recomposed By Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons

Antonio Vivaldi’s Le Quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons) is one of the most famous classical works ever written. There are countless recordings of it available, and all virtuoso violinists have its four concertos in their repertoire. So celebrated, beloved and venerated are these works that any tinkering with their musical substance is instantly detected and seen as a crime against Vivaldi’s genius – in our collective musical memory, every note in these scores is sacred. It was therefore inevitable that Max Richter would come under the spotlight when he took on the challenge of reimagining this set of twelve movements, releasing his album under the title Recomposed by Max Richter – Vivaldi ·The Four Seasons.
