Max Richter was inspired by a special performance of Recomposed on period instruments to take “a new trip through the text using Vivaldi’s own colours”. “Vivaldi’s palette applied to the new score was extraordinary” ‘Spring 1’ is a personal favourite of Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, as well as Christine & The Queens who described it as “the best song ever to fall in love to” and Diddy who called it his “theme music”.
“from the perspective of somebody who’s heard minimal music, who’s heard electronica, who’s heard post-rock.Recomposed continues to attract new listeners through its use in the soundtracks of hit TV series including Bridgerton and The Crown, and has also been featured in My Brilliant Friend, Chef’s Table, Orphan Black and The Current War. While in the liner notes Max Richter acknowledges the influence of Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys or The Beatles, the concerto was also reworked What makes the project really interesting is the revisit of a 1725 piece with the hindsight of 287 years of music and popular culture. “I decided to rewrite the score on a note level which meant re-recording it with an orchestra I went through it, picking my favourite bits and turning those up and making new objects out of those The piece is pretty radical with the material, I’ve probably thrown away three quarters of the notes, but I’ve kept the gestures and the shape and the texture and the dynamics of Vivaldi.” Max Richter Released at the end of 2012, Recomposed by Max Richter is neither another interpretation of the Four Seasons nor a remix but a rework of the original piece based on Vivaldi’s score.
