Taken from 'The New Four Seasons – Vivaldi Recomposed'
Listen now: DG.lnk.to/recomposed
A decade on from the release of his mesmerising Recomposed album, the composer returns to the sound world of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, accompanied by violinist Elena Urioste and the musicians of Chineke! Orchestra.
Having performed Recomposed live many times in the last decade, he was inspired by a special rendition of the work on period instruments to take “a new trip through the text using Vivaldi’s own colours”. The New Four Seasons applies a Baroque palette to the score in which he transforms or subverts fragments from the original four violin concertos by refracting them through different musical prisms, spinning them into different shapes and colours and enveloping them in completely different orchestral settings.
Richter has revisited the electronics too, here opting for Moog synths from the 70s – “the equivalent of the Stradivarius”. Asked about the difference in sound between modern and period strings, he laughs: “I heard someone say it’s the difference between smooth peanut butter and crunchy peanut butter, which encapsulates it really well!”

“It’s like SLEEP distilled.” That’s how Max Richter describes Sleep Circle, his new album marking the tenth anniversary of his landmark project SLEEP. Sleep Circle is a hallucinatory 90-minute trip into the hypnagogic state – the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep in which dreams begin to take shape. The process of choosing Sleep Circle’s 24 tracks was informed by the insights Richter gained from live performances of an abridged version of his monumental opus. With its more intimate and focused approach to SLEEP, the new album highlights compositions such as “Dream 11 / Moth-Like Stars” and “Non-Eternal” in a structural arc that mirrors the natural 90-minute REM cycle. Recorded at Studio Richter Mahr in Oxfordshire, Sleep Circle showcases Max Richter’s unique ability to translate profound human experience into music, offering listeners a space to slow down and reconnect with their inner selves.
