So instead of writing off the piece forever, Richter rewrote it. He discarded about three quarters of Vivaldi's original, substituted his own music and tucked in some light electronics for a total Four Seasons makeover. It sounds a little hipper — lighter on its feet in places, darker and more cinematic in others. Still, Richter's remodeled version retains the basic shape, and much of the spirit, of the master's original four violin concertos — each about ten minutes and in three movements, sequenced fast-slow-fast.
Richter recorded his rejiggered Seasons with violin soloist Daniel Hope and together they brought the project to (Le) Poisson Rouge, the Greenwich Village music space, where we had our cameras set up and ready to roll.
In Richter's reimagining, you'll recognize more than a few weather-related signposts like the violin's shivering figures in "Winter" and bolts of thunder in stormy "Summer." Yet in other places the music is heavily disguised. The cheerful birdsong that opens Vivaldi's "Spring" emerges as mere shards of the original, backed by moody pedal points in the electronic low end, lending it a movie music feel. And Vivaldi's violin horn calls in the finale of "Autumn" morph into a comforting minimalist blanket of warm double basses and electronics.
The revamped Vivaldi is about as "classical" as Richter gets. For a taste of his more electronic side, the second half of this concert features selections from Infra, dance music he wrote for London's Royal Ballet, based on T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. For this music, Richter pares down to just a piano, his laptop and a string quartet, but he weaves in many unusual sounds. Here you'll find a dusty treasure-trove of old shortwave radio signals, industrial rumbles, clicks and pops serving as the underlying bed for Richter's gritty and forlorn soundscapes. -- TOM HUIZENGA

I grew up in in a household with an audiophile father who spent the majority of his surplus income on the finest hi-fi equipment available at the time in the 1960’s. Classical music of every description was played at extreme volume almost every night rather than bedtime stories and the music itself created the imagery. Vivaldi was always a favorite.. and with this re-composition, I feel reborn again.
Simply magnificent. Thank you !

for me, this is a dialogue between Antonio Vivaldi in the 18th century and Max Richter in the 21st century. both geniuses in their time! loved this.

I've been listening to Max Richter for quite a while and I'm convinced he's a genius, he needs more recognition!

These arrangements brought me to tears. During all my years of study at TheConservatory THIS is how I imagined Vivaldi but was discouraged from expressing it. It is SO validating to know that others hear what I hear underneath the actual manuscript. Bravo & thank you.

I close my eyes, and I am there; Standing in the beautiful nature, I see the sun rising, the cheer of excited birds, the bumblebees humming, Even the smallest details of sunlight shivering the dewdrops on the fresh blooming grass, the pollen on the flowers, their smell, the joy, the beginning of a new Spring. Nature is magic, god is real and Max Richter is a genius!

I came for Summer and fell in love with Spring.

Max Richter's version of the four seasons is so emotional and intense to me, I could get lost wandering for the entire length of it.

I literally played this album each morning for a year to start my day.
True story.

This is nothing but the pristine expression of purity and ethereal beauty. This masterpiece has brought tears to my eyes like nothing has ever done before. I feel like this is what my life has always been about : playing this with my headphones on and letting myself fade away with the notes in the infinity of space and time. I'm so thankful that i stumbled across this video. I hope y'all enjoyed it as much as I did.

Okay so .....I started crying at 10:21, which turned to full blown weeping at 17:45 . I want to thank Max ( which is short in German for Maximillian which means "the greatest") Daniel Hope & the rest of the musicians for renewing my love for the heart instrument, the violin. So beautiful, so everything that it is & my words can't say. Thank you.

Я всегда был в восторге от такой изящности, волшебных потоков музыкального исскуства, слушаеш, вдохновляет. Люблю ваш стиль, очень редко встречаеш что звучит во второй половине полного видео. Отдельное спасибо за звук красок в плане не только оркестра но и заготовок в самом ноутбуке. Плоды готовые, вот слушаю, наслаждаюсь.

I think Max Richter has ascended to the next level of music, as have the performers of his music. As young musicians we learn technique, scales, repertoire, touch, how to honor the composers. It's not until we have mastered all those things that we can trust ourselves, our technique, all our practice, that we can become fully enveloped in the music and just... play. Max Richter just takes me there with his music.

As you would expect of a composer who once studied with the great modernist Luciano Berio, Richter is very self-aware. He notices that his own taste in repeating patterns doesn’t mesh with the apparently similar patterns in Vivaldi. They obey a different logic, and the friction between them generates a fascinatingly ambiguous colour. Richter teases out and heightens this colour, sometimes with Vivaldi uppermost, sometimes himself. It is a subtle and often moving piece of work, which suggests that after years of tedious disco and trance versions of Mozart, the field of the classical remix has finally become interesting.

I love the music, but also the sensitive way in which the video has documented the participation of each musician and the conductor, their gestures and eye contact. It reveals the unique connections between people in live performance.

Max you are my favorite artist, sir. Thank you for your work. Sometimes when I am alone and the state of the world is bringing me down, I listen to your version of Spring 0-1 and have a good cry.

I have always loved Max Richter's music and this new arrangement and interpretation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons is exquisite. But to title it as the Four Seasons 'recomposed' is quite honestly a complete and utter cheek. Vivaldi, a composer who died in utter poverty but whose music has been loved and profited from since his death deserves better. It is HIS music and will always be his and his alone. The music should be titled 'The Four Seasons - Reimagined' just as this video is.
