Chinese vocalist, Gong Linna, joins New York's electric Bang on a Can All-Stars. Weaving together ancient Chinese storytelling and Western songwriting, Cloud River Mountain honors the “sound worlds” of both China and the West, fusing texts sung in both Mandarin and English with sophisticated chamber music, rock, folk, and jazz. The composer Max Richter wanted to “recompose” Vivaldi’s ubiquitous “Four Seasons. Which invites artists to reimagine an original score. Richter toyed with the rhythms in the. But Max Richter’s minimalist re-imagining of the legendary concerti is well established as a striking and forthright take which rivals Vivaldi’s original work for its emotional depth. With the vivid imagery at play in Vivaldi’s work and themes of birth, life and death, then distilled into their purest essence by Richter, the recomposition.
At once, Max Richter’s avant-garde remix of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is both strange and familiar. Poised atop the stage at (le) Poisson Rouge sat the LPR ensemble – complete with a harpsichord! – ready to begin their performance. But something curious happened: the players remained silent as an electronic hum radiated out of a laptop on stage. And when the violins finally chimed in, it sounded nothing like the over-familiar concerto. High-pitched and animated, the violins played against a wave of ambient music that cascaded across the audience in a gradual crescendo. And then, just before providing the resolution your ear so desperately craved, the music stopped; Richter switched gears and dove into the Largo section of “Spring”.
Enter Daniel Hope, our star violinist. An incredible performer, one would assume that Richter’s avant-garde remix is the only Four Seasons Hope has ever heard or played. But just imagine the grueling work Hope had to go through, retraining his fingers and his memory to play Richter’s notes. A complex concerto, at times the music is gentle and delicate, but at others, the tempo is incredibly quick. In “Winter” especially, Hope’s fingers dashed across the bow of his violin, with the entire string section following close behind. This movement proved particularly tricky, as its melody sounded so similar to the original, barring one exception: the downbeat was skipped, bringing this 18th-century piece into modern times.
Although much of Richter’s recomposed concerto was unfamiliar and new, fragments of Vivaldi’s tunes were interspersed throughout. In The Guardian’s review of Richter’s album, Richter is quoted as saying: “My aim was to fall in love with the original again – and I have.” I have to admit, I agree with Richter. And hats off to (le) Poisson Rouge for making it happen.
Although Vivaldi’s Four Seasons was the highlight of the evening, Richter’s enigmatic style shone through in his other works as well. Infra, written for piano, electronics and string quintet, was conceived as a collaboration between Max Richter, choreographer Wayne McGregor and artist Julian Opie. Switching between electronic and acoustic sounds, Richter’s musical lines were fluid and sweeping, creating compelling harmonies throughout. The same came be said for Autumn Music 2 and On the Nature of Daylight. Both featured slow, eloquently crafted melodies and were performed with serious emotion.
A product of Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass, Max Richter created an ethereal performance that blended all of his influences – post-rock, electronica and minimalism – with those from our classical past. All in all, the concert was a triumph for contemporary classical music.

Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons is a composition that features on a 2012 album by neo-classical composer Max Richter, released on August 31, 2012 on Universal Classics and Jazz (Germany), a division of Universal Music Group, and Deutsche Grammophon,[1] and further recorded by Fenella Humphreys and released on Rubicon Classics in 2019.[2] The piece is a complete recomposition and reinterpretation of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.
Although Richter said that he had discarded 75 percent of Vivaldi's original material,[3] the parts he does use are phased and looped, emphasising his grounding in postmodern and minimalist music.[4]
The Deutsche Grammophon album was played by the violinist Daniel Hope and the Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlinsymphony orchestra, and conducted by André de Ridder. On the album, Hope plays the 'Ex-Lipinski' violin, an instrument made by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù in 1742 and made available to the violinist by a German family who asked to remain anonymous.
The Rubicon Classics recording features soloist Fenella Humphreys and the Covent Garden Sinfonia, conducted by Ben Palmer. Humphreys recorded using a violin from the circle of Peter Guarneri of Venice, made in 1727.

Critical reception[edit]
Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons received widespread acclaim from contemporary classical music critics. Play four seasons by vivaldi.
Ivan Hewett of the Telegraph gave the album a very positive review, stating:
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.[7]
