Richter is enthusiastic about this blend.

In this “alternative rendering”, Chineke!, the groundbreaking British ensemble consisting of majority black, Asian and ethnically diverse musicians, and the brilliant soloist, Elena Urioste, are playing on gut strings and period instruments: the sort that Vivaldi would have heard, and played, in his own time. Experiencing it felt as though we were being catapulted onto another plane, reverberated through the cosmos by this epiphanic soundworld. We hadn’t heard anything like that, ever. I thoroughly enjoy it! Great quality recording too.When Max Richter’s Recomposed first exploded into our collective ears almost a decade ago, a 59-minutes-28-seconds sonic starburst, the effect for so many people was total. If you are open to the change, then this is a great experience. I found it very exciting to listen to a piece I am so familiar with but with some amazing 'twists' in melody ad rhythm. He has made some astonishing and brave changes- but they work. Don't expect the same as the original at all - it's definitely re-composed. Just as great the second time I listened. WOW! I love it! I heard this played on the radio and went looking for it. Orchestra: Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin

September 2012ĭ2 Summer 3 Vocals – Cerebral Vortex The musicians were prepared to match him, playing in unison the dart-like repeated note values that often gave the work a distinctly minimalistic quality: here Vivaldi becomes systems music grounded by solid melody and a propulsive bass line.

He has done far more than simply re-orchestrate the Vivaldi, going through the original score and plucking out his favorite musical ideas and dispensing with a great deal of the notes.
