It’s more chamber music-like, more intimate.” Yes, the sound is smaller, but in a way it’s a more human sound. “There’s an agility and a lightness to period instruments, and they can make fast, dynamic shifts and execute more detailed articulation. “It was a bit of a no-brainer,” Richter tells Apple Music. Eight years later, Richter made the bold decision to re-record his version of The Four Seasons (released once again on DG), using period instruments strung with gut strings, and performed by soloist Elena Urioste and Chineke! Orchestra. The album was a masterclass of conservation and revolution-and rightly took the classical music world by storm. Featuring stellar performances by violinist Daniel Hope and the Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin, the work boldly set out to reimagine one of classical music’s best-loved and treasured masterpieces: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, a set of four violin concertos first published in 1725. In 2014, the premiere recording of Max Richter’s Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons was released by Deutsche Grammophon.
