In 2012, Max Richter released his interpretation of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons as part of Deutsche Grammophon’s Recomposed series. The familiar notes were chopped up, amplified, altered, and repeated. “A subtle and often moving piece of work, suggesting that after years of dull disco and trance versions of Mozart, the realm of the classical remix has finally become interesting,” wrote The Telegraph. Top violinist Isabelle van Keulen endorses this at the highest level.

Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons really need no introduction. Thanks to the advertising industry or film music, everyone is familiar with excerpts from these four violin concertos that give voice to spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The fact that these are revolutionary concertos in both form and content has been somewhat pushed into the background. It is precisely through his arrangements that Max Richter reinforces that revolutionary character.
