Affection is an integral part of Max Richter’s Vivaldi Recomposed. His “post-classical idiom” draws inspiration from influences like electronic music, punk, club music, psychedelic rock. Max Richter’s co-conspirators are Daniel Hope, the British violinist; and the orchestra “l’arte del mondo” (artistic director is the violinist Werner Ehrhardt). A former member of the Beaux Arts Trio, Hope is both a notable champion of contemporary music and an exponent of the standard classical repertoire. That makes him the ideal soloist for Richter’s piece. (Cat.No. UNITEL: A055501640000)
Daniel Hope performs Vivaldi’s Four Seasons recomposed by Max Richter
Famous British violinist Daniel Hope presents his exciting project: “The Four Seasons Recomposed,” a modern version of Antonio Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’ by award-winning British composer Max Richter. The performance takes place at an equally exciting location: the former ‘Shipyard Hall 207’ of the legendary “Neptunwerft” in Rostock, Germany. Hope is joined by the Early Music Band l’arte del mondo and the composer himself at the synthesizer. “An intelligent, even reverent, updating of Vivaldi” (London Times).
