Recomposed By Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons

Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons is a composition by contemporary classical composer Max Richter. The piece is a complete recomposition and reinterpretation of Vivaldi's violin concertos The Four Seasons. Although Richter said that he had discarded 75 percent of Vivaldi's original material, the parts he does use are phased and looped, emphasising his grounding in postmodern and minimalist music. A version by Daniel Hope with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin under the direction of André de Ridder was released on August 31, 2012 on Universal Classics and Jazz, a division of Universal Music Group, and Deutsche Grammophon, prior to its first live performance. It has since been recorded by other artists.
