I literally wrote myself into Vivaldi’s score.” He used techniques borrowed from electronic pop music, for instance looping or sampling when working: “In my notes you will find parts that consist of 90% of my own material but on the other hand you will find moments where I have only altered a couple of notes in Vivaldi’s original score and shortened, prolonged or shifted some of the beats. The biggest challenge for the British composer was to “create a new score, an experimental hybrid, that constantly references ‘Vivaldi’ but also ‘Richter’ and that is current but simultaneously preserves the original spirit of this great work.” Richter consequently used a range of different techniques, when constructing this piece. I hear it in the supermarket regularly, am confronted with it in adverts or hear it as muzak when on hold.” Richter takes this recognizable sound into the present and gives a new audience access to it whilst also respecting the original piece and its history of interpretation, so that the discerned classical music listener can enjoy his Vivaldi Recomposed just as much. Richter was fascinated by the 1725 composition because “The Four Seasons is an omnipresent piece of music and like no other part of our musical landscape. The composer will be joined by Ensemble LPR and violinist Daniel Hope. Wordless Music and Le Poisson Rouge will present Richter’s latest work at Le Poisson Rouge on 19th and 20th December. Richter is bringing Recomposed to New York City with two live performances.

He is the first in the series to employ an existing score, ‘inscribe’ his new composition into Vivaldi’s and record a ‘new’ version of a familiar work, thus creating a new piece of music. In contrast to previous participants, such as Matthew Herbert or Moritz von Oswald & Carl Craig, who reworked recordings from the extensive Deutsche Grammophon catalogue, Richter actually ‘recomposed’ Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. However, Richter’s approach differs fundamentally from the preceding releases. The idea of recomposing and re-processing musical works was common practice in Bach’s time and the project presents an exciting opportunity to make favorite classics relevant to a wider audience. British composer Max Richter is now part of Deutsche Grammophon’s acclaimed Recomposed series, in which contemporary artists are invited to re-work a traditional piece of music.
