Composed in 1723, Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons ("Quattro stagioni", "les quatre saisons") is the most familiar piece of classical music in the world, and one of the most recorded pieces of all time.
"Recomposed" is an album composed by Max Richter and was first released in Germany in 2012.
Richter says he picked his favourite bits of the score and reshaped them into new objects, layering and looping familiar fragments to reinvigorate a work diminished by overuse in elevators, TV ads and as telephone holding music.
Max Richter says "I only kept about 25 per cent of the notes but theres Vivaldi DNA in all of it, says Max. I kept the gestures and shapes, the textures and dynamics. There are bits of Vivaldi and bits of me daydreaming about the original, thinking aloud about it".
