The composer will be joined by Ensemble LPR and violinist Daniel Hope. Wordless Music and Le Poisson Rouge will present Richter’s latest work at Le Poisson Rouge on 19th and 20th December. Richter is bringing Recomposed to New York City with two live performances. He is the first in the series to employ an existing score, ‘inscribe’ his new composition into Vivaldi’s and record a ‘new’ version of a familiar work, thus creating a new piece of music. In contrast to previous participants, such as Matthew Herbert or Moritz von Oswald & Carl Craig, who reworked recordings from the extensive Deutsche Grammophon catalogue, Richter actually ‘recomposed’ Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons.
However, Richter’s approach differs fundamentally from the preceding releases. The idea of recomposing and re-processing musical works was common practice in Bach’s time and the project presents an exciting opportunity to make favorite classics relevant to a wider audience. British composer Max Richter is now part of Deutsche Grammophon’s acclaimed Recomposed series, in which contemporary artists are invited to re-work a traditional piece of music.
