- Can't take another moment of Vivaldi's ubiquitous Four Seasons? Neither could Max Richter, a London-based composer who deftly blurs the lines between the classical and electronic worlds. Long ago he loved it the piece but like some of us, he grew tired of the overplayed warhorse, which can be found in no fewer than 250 recordings on sites like ArchivMusic.
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

Music from Infra

That beginning might be the most beautiful thing i've ever heard
Yeah, Spring is absolutely gorgeous.
Spring is lit. This year though as my best friend died in July I can't take my ears from summer. Especially summer 2. Touches the soul of how beautiful it is 😢😳
@@krepler sorry for your loss
I keep repeating it. The fleeting strings underscored by the soothing bass is like slow, tearful appreciation of a world of butterflies on a warm day... Just happy to be alive.
If you listen to the chord progression you can hear its one of the most used :) But Vivaldi will always be my favorite composer off all time thats just me:)

thanks !
Thank you! I don't know why this isn't in the video description!
1:17:22 - she is amazing 🌸
Спасибо!
How did you get the blue numbers to work...very handy! 👍
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.
You hit it on the head
A perfect statement
Yes, but I wish I knew more about what each is contributing.
@@Rnankn you can Google both and see what they are each “contributing”
@@erikaperezrubio9463 yea i could just google everything i ponder for the rest of my life. But google doesn’t provide the answers I want. Google doesn’t care how I feel.
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've been listening to Max Richter for quite a while and I'm convinced he's a genius, he needs more recognition!
I love classical music because of the emotion it can evoke without lyrics, I highly dislike math and stats. I avoid them at all costs.
why he needs? his music wil be there without ego even on deeper level, if he composed out of ego he will never go as deep.
I share your love for music and dislike stats to some extent.
Although, I don't with math and logic being the antagonists to art and emotion. Understanding math comes along with high analytical skills which I discovered are necessary for improving on my own art and which helps me recognize layered emotions in more difficult work of others.
And coming up with a mathematical proof requires a high intuition of the subject, that's why often it may seem to have come out of thin air. Many times I had a similar awestruck feeling of wonder to that of appreciating high art while going through an elegant proof to a complex problem, making me curious about the author's disposition and his/her unique view on the matter.
To me, mathematics is a thing of beauty.

This is my favourite piece of all time I spend my nights falling asleep to this and hopefully now it will be my go to music as i fight this illness further. It brings me tears joy and every emotion xx
I literally played this album each morning for a year to start my day.
True story.
Oh, I know... I saw you listening to this album each morning for a year to start your day and I thought to myself, 'Anthony really seems to like that Reimagining Vivaldi music album.'
Ingenious and marvelous ! I am 83 years old and Vivaldi's Four Seasons has been part of my life, and my enjoyment for over 70 years.I find this reimagining to be absolutely refreshing and enjoyable.Love it. It is really brilliant.Will listen to it again and again along with Vivaldi's original composition.And ,you know, I think Vivaldi would agree !. Viva progress !
I love you Leslie. I mean that with all my heart. I hope this message finds you surrounded by loved ones and in good health. Or at the very least, I hope you still have enjoyment whilst listening to this
May you be happy eternally. ❤
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.
Loved this aspect as well, glad I'm not the only one who appreciated it.
I came for Summer and fell in love with Spring.
@Sandcastle •Lol I have watched it. Multiple times.
Why would you assume that I haven't?
Me too... the only spring remake i have ever liked... everybody likes summer i guess..
@@bibaolaitan5189 Me too! :D
I love Richter's entire Spring recomposition. Spring 3 I find particularly wonderful ♥️
I tend to skip over Spring in other versions and just listen to Summer and Winter.
I know what you meant but that statement in itself was quite profound. Weather you meant it or not, nice.
spring is amazing like a memory you can not forget
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.
I wish the recording was a notch louder though :(
You got that right
Can't believe this performance is nearly 8 years old now. I have been listening to it regularly the whole time and never tire of it.
Spring is singular - absolutely beautiful.
For 7 years I have been coming back here
This is so beautiful, starting with Spring, to me illustrating the fragility of life but its relentless energy that pushes through in this most beautiful season.
Resonating - succinctly said, thank you.
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.
I had a music professor that would always teach that the best composers take themes from previous composers then incorporate into their own style making it new and different.
I'm "obsessed" by this recomposed Vivaldi's seasons, touching, moving, in fact nature in pure reality. Well done, Mr. Max Richter.
Max Richter definitely the most talented artist among his contemporaries. I fell in love every compose he made.
I always say Classical music is the sound of life. How Max was able to put new life into Vivaldis work, without straying far from the original is incredible.
An oasis of a masterpiece, in a desert of insanity.
Thank you for uploading.
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 can't listen to this at work. I work in construction and my coworkers are hard men. This music (symphony?) makes me weep as I imagine I would if I had just destroyed the entire world by pure accident. That wouldn't be a good look at work.
It's the video I go to when I think I can't handle anymore pain. The video I watch when I'm contemplating quitting, killing, or worse...and it never fails to make all of that melt away and fill me with love, wonderment, and hope. Hope being the most addictive emotion that I have the words to express.
My dream is to one day see this in person. I just hope I get to see it all before people realize I'm not supposed to be there.
@@DEATH_TO_TYRANTS I hope you get to see it in person some day.
@@trn0m961
Thank you for that.
I hope you are surrounded by loved ones, music in the air, kids running around, good drink and food a plenty. If like many you're not that fortunate, I hope at the least that you are content and at peace as much as can be.
Stay safe and most importantly, stay free. Maybe we will meet at the concert someday whether we know it or not. ✌
Florida Man I’m in construction I love this arrangement always have a little bit of max eeichter. Or Phillip glass In my ear pods when I’m working
What’s your trade ?
@@King-balloon
I lost my good headphones a year or so back (Jabra elite something or another) and have just been blasting music such as this for the whole world to hear. You should see and hear some of the responses I get from different guys haha.
Mainly fire alarm install. There's times when I moonlight as a pipe fitter with the sprinkler side and sometimes dabble in other life safety systems.
How about you? Although some of the guys in my trade and others haven't hated some of this genre music, I can't say any of them went home and looked it up. So it's pretty neat to run into another person in construction who also listens to some of the finer music in life.
I hope this message finds you in good health and good spirits

Just discovered it, listening to this, over & over & over again ♥️✨ What a pleasure to be alive, to be able, to listening to this genius maestro Max Richter 🙏🏻😍😭😍
I love it so much that I listen and watch again periodically throughout my life. This is possibly my favorite orchestra performance. It moves me like no other. The lead violinist is amazing, but the entire orchestra has a continuity that I just so enjoy. I love this.
How can a piece of music make you feel so much? Spring to me is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard.
Like many others, it conjures up rapturous moments of happiness; an adolescent memory of running through fields of wheat grass, barefoot, wide eyed and hearts full. Listening to this swells my heart. I would do anything to hear this played by an orchestra in person.
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.
You lasted longer than I did :')
Your comment made me laugh, then I listened to it, I'm not laughing now
I agree - so heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once
@@andreaulbrick2254 I listen to a wide variety of music and I actually find, for me, that symphonic music like this, like the classical greats, invigorates me mostly. I can listen to the heaviest, darkest black metal and it calms me....
Y'all need therapy not TH-cam
This remains on of the most beautiful things I have ever heard, hands down. I tell people to go listen to it
I cried!!!! I laughed! Several times!!!! Completely fantastic!!! Stunning!!!
I'm just a photographer with passion for violins... Thank you so much! You turned my life much better with this concert! Each day practicing a little bit more this amazing instrument!
"Just" a photographer? Isn't immortalizing beauty already a lot, Vanessa?
Yes! But I don't know the Art of Harmony of the Sound yet... I'm trying to learn that too...
Vanessa Freire Good human being you are. Life has amazing gifts for those willing to listen to it.
Vanessa Freire Have a look to 'Werckmeister harmóniák', you might find the harmony you're looking for. If not, you'll still enjoy the wonderful images and sounds ;)
Vanessa Freire You'll learn faster then you think. Harmony resides in your brain from birth. You just have to give it a little push.
The music is so beautiful, but man see Max Richter's face when playing is a whole level of beauty..
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 so love this, when I am feeling blue, this performance takes me to new heights of happiness, thanks to you Max Richter and to all the performers. It's magic, I sometimes pretend that I am the violinist -and I'm pretty good.
The beginning piece...I love it.....gives me shivers and an excitement for life 💕
"Excitement for life"
❤
I cried so many heavy yet beautiful tears to that piece. Just WOW!
Spring 1 and Summer 3 are completely mind-blowing.
Spring 2 makes me swoon
@@bakalaruru Totally!
It's impossible to be cynical about humanity when you see things like this.
Ikr...
Speak for yourself
This recomposition is life. It's a masterpiece.
I am wholeheartedly convicted that this is the most beautiful music I have ever heard.
When the first composition begins and you immediately start bawling, you know the music has a powerful message for you.
OMG, stop it, this is too beautiful! Not the genre of music I typically listen to but it is astounding, overpowering. Then when you hear Max Richter speak about his world of butterflies, peace and war, you'll be practically on your knees. Play this as loudly as you can!
Im turning the volume to 11 just for you Emma
The amount of times I have listened to this is unhealthy! Bitter earth at the end was so beautiful. That was my introduction to Max Richter and I say thank you Shutter Island!
This album is simply a masterpiece of a new age classical music. I have it playing all day long everyday on a repeat. Max is a true genius! Love the Richter/Hope/De Ridder combo though.
Vivaldi described The Four Seasons as The Contest Between Harmony and Invention and in my opinion I think he would be pleased with how Max Richter has reinvented his music with more a modern feel but still retaining the original harmony.
I still love the traditional intensity and voluptuousness of Adrian Chandler's Summer and Winter versions but I adore Richter's as well.
I am not a musician so I may just imagine what a fantastic experience it has to be for an orchestra member to be a part of this masterpiece
I think i would be crying as I played. Laughing, contemplating, lost in ecstasy.
It would be amazing if I could witness this live.
So beautiful, it touches the soul.
I hope you see it one day. And I hope it is everything you imagined it would be.
Have always adored Vivaldi's Four Seasons (for decades). Has always lifted my spirits. BUT.. This surpasses all previous encounters. Such sensitive beauty.. Lifts one out of the common place and into the rare. Thank you. Peace and Love to all.
This piece of music is one of the best things to happen to me. I listen to it almost daily and it gives me such calm and serenity. A timeless work indeed, coming from a huuuge fan of Vivaldi!
Masterpiece! Bravo Max Richter... Vivaldi must be definitely pleased with this beautiful Homage. I listen to this while I paint its so calming.
Beautiful! Bought tears to my eyes in the first few minutes.
Daniel Hope is so, so amazing. Instantly moved to tears @23.28. I love strings - they convey emotions so beautifully.
Brought to tears every time I listen...
This is on repeat, and i loved the use of this reimagining in My Brilliant Friend - Brilliant!
Simply a beautiful and healing sound.
Can there be such beauty? Yes!
Normally I think that reworking masterpieces is a wrong idea, but this time it is perfect. I listen to this every day. Thank you Max Richter.
Thank you! Whenever I'm overcome with dismay over our travails, I watch this live performance and feel my spirits lift in awe at its depth and virtuosity.
The first movement, Spring, sounds just like lorikeets chatting. It's so gorgeous
This was hauntingly beautiful. I have always admired Max as a composer. I want to see him live one day. Absolutely incredible.
2:12 onwards (Spring 1) is nothing short of magical.
The winter is CRAZYYYY ... MOST BEAUTYFULL PIECE I EVER HEARD
I agree!
I normally listen to indie rock music and stumbled upon this. Spring III is amazing! That violinist bouncing that bow consistently is amazing.
Ah, what ecstasy it is to the human mind and soul the simple pleasure of listening to the classics, and even more ecstatic it is to listen to the familiar notes renditioned in a way that mingles the old with the new, tradition with modern, the heartbreak of the long gone and forgotten, with joy of remembrance; honoring its memory, paying its respects... Ah, to live and witness such wonders, basking in the glory of one fine November morning accompanied with the delicious smell of a strong cup of coffee Arabica are enough amends to replenish one's soul of the sorrows of the very same life... isn't that just marvelous?
Winter 3... Here, it's a whole new level. The title of this album, Reimagining Vivaldi, is so accurate because it is not simply re-playing Vivaldi, but taking his music to an uncharted territory.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful musical universe. Vivaldi would be so happy to hear his composition with these news colors and sounds. I really love Richter's work.
The video is just beginning & I've never heard this before. I'll comment again when it's over. Am I in for a treat? I imagine so.
I discovered Max due to the film Arrival, whose theme was composed by him, and I thank you very much for sharing this concert, cheers
I'm here because Spring was used in my favorite scene from Bridgerton and also in The Current War! This music is so light and inspirational
The Crown as well!
Five Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I never get tired of the music of Vivaldi. Vivaldi is much more than The Four Seasons. This version is fantastic!
came here for the reimagined four seasons (which is truly sublime!) but stayed for the second set which I had never heard b4 and was not dissapointed. infra 5 slapped especially hard. so beautiful.
peace, love, solidarity from Chicago.
This is the kind of video that deserves to have millions of hits. Even though it never will come close to that. The beauty of art is what can draw people together.
it has almost two million views
Good heavens. That was almost poetry. I am as thick as it gets. I just love the pretty music.
I LOVE the look on his face @ 1:10:16 - he looks so pleased at their performance, they are amazing.
has been a long time, since I've heard something this beautiful
Vivaldi is the greatest of all composers have lived til today. He was kissed by Godfather himself, his empathy with nature is overwhelming. I think, with this wonderful piece of reworking his compositions makes him more than the word happy can discribe, while he is listening to it from far behind. Thank you for this hommage to Master Vivaldi, and pardon my old school english, I've learned for over 40 years . Thank you for this wonderful new composition Master Richter^^
For what it's worth, your English was on point. I'm an uneducated American who speaks/writes a bastardized version of it and had no problem taking in your comment.
Brought me to tears
Dario Lopez is
I feel like I'm transforming, refining, and shapeshifting into a playful color filled fairy, thank you~
Played this brilliant piece of music in the background while working a project. This was yesterday, today I am really listening and watching it. Insanely good...🙂
As a reimagination a masterpiece! Soo beautiful, especially this performance! What a joy! My heart is dancing! I can't stop smiling. An excellent example of celebrating life in creativity!
masterpiece, connecting present and the past with the sound of music
I LOVE Max's reimagined veriosn of Autumn 3 at starting at 34:00. it's a piece of music that conveyed such a strong feeling of hope and light and positivity for me. Thank you for sharing!
Yes! I was pleasantly surprised by that section. It had a fall mood, but in a celebratory manner.
the first part with the restless violins combined with the long dark pad is amazing give a sense of unfulfilled urgency in a good way
Previously heard parts of this piece, only finding this full-length concert today. Grateful to all involved. It is the finest thing I have ever heard on strings.
Very beautiful... I have no words!!! I love the melody that begin at 39.15 and also the melody in 50.37 so much! : )
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.
Breathtaking music with a heartbreaking quality yet filled with hope and beauty. Superb.
His storm is perfect
it sounds like a strange memory
1:29
Well the beginning of Fall is the default ringback back in the day 😄 like more than a decade ago
It does 😭😭
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!
This man is a true genius. His music is on different parallels I'm not just talking the recomposed Valvadi Four season but all his Master pieces. Antonio vivaldi would be looking down and saying,' The boy has done good..
What immagination.
My dear God this is so very beautiful, I have cried listening to it, there is so much beauty in this world. Thank you so much for this lovely experience ♥
as a electronic arts dj, i am just blown away by the performance and the skill in this concert. Utterly stunning!!!
The begin Spring 1 still remains my favourite ❤️
Obviously an extremely impressive remix that adds a lot of emotionally to Vivaldi's work. Bravo.
What’s the advert again!? 🤔
Such beauty! On Epiphany Day in sunny, yet desolate and patrolled Bologna. It quenches the thirst for art in my soul.
Thank you.
I really need to go to bed, but this is so beautiful.
Me right now 🤣
Это божественно. В такое исполнение невозможно не влюбиться. Особенно восхитило "лето".
If I would have attended this performance only anticipating the four seasons recomposed and heard the encore songs at the end I would have been overflowing with emotion. Those last two are my favorite songs by Max Richter. That audience was in for a treat but hey so are we for being able to see this recording on TH-cam!
I have been watching this video for the past 3 years and I am now only noticing that Caroline Shaw is part of the ensemble! Mind blown!!
I love what a great time the lead violinist is having.
Loving life.
@@Adam-ui3ot i would be too can you imagine how fun and awesome that must be
This sort of music has power to it truly a masterpiece
I was introduced to this music through Crystal Pite's The Seasons' Canon, when it had its North American Premiere at Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle in November of 2022. I can no longer make it through Spring 1 without tears reaching my chin. There's absolutely nothing like hearing this piece live, and seeing the mind-boggling choreography that goes with it. I've seen it live four times, and still can't make it through without being moved to tears. If anyone's near Boston, go see it at Boston Ballet in October 2024!
The World Needs THIS Right Now 🙌🇺🇦🫶
