Max Richter: Recomposed: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons

Britten Sinfonia
Thomas Gould (violin/director)

Max Richter’s Recomposed is the composer’s celebrated 21st-century reimagining of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Here, violinist Thomas Gould and the Britten Sinfonia give the Proms debut performance of Richter’s heady blend of acoustic and electronic sounds. Lera Auerbach’s reworking of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater looks back to the 18th century, in the same way that Michael Tippett drew inspiration from Corelli in his Fantasia concertante.
