NEW SEASONS

VIVALDI–RICHTER & PIAZZOLLA

A cult project by the British composer Max Richter, who reimagines Antonio Vivaldi’s cycle “The Four Seasons” for the 21st century, and a passionate response from the heart of Buenos Aires: the music of Astor Piazzolla.

Three talented musicians invite you on an unforgettable musical journey.

The programme “New Seasons” features a unique version of the celebrated cycle “Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons”, a special arrangement for chamber trio created for this project.

This is a look at the classics through the prism of the 21st century. In Richter’s interpretation, Vivaldi’s baroque virtuosity becomes a transparent, meditative universe of sound. That is why the music is recognisable and yet completely new.

If Richter’s “Seasons” are born in the silence and light of the North, in Piazzolla’s music they catch fire with the passion of the South. His cycle “The Seasons in Buenos Aires” is not a calendar of nature but an emotional map of the big city, its nights, its rhythm and its passion.

Four pieces written in the aesthetic of tango nuevo, music in which classical form merges with the feeling of Argentine tango.

Piazzolla worked on “The Seasons in Buenos Aires” for many years, and each piece was born in a different period of his life. That is why the cycle sounds like a personal autobiography in which tango becomes the language of memory.

“NEW SEASONS” is a meeting of two worlds, Nordic meditation and Southern passion, of two eras and two ways of looking at time and at people. It is music in which the seasons become a metaphor for life, change and inner movement.

Listen to the cold, pulsing sound of “Winter” in Max Richter’s interpretation.

Now, in contrast to the icy pulse of winter, hear the dramatic climax of the cycle: “Summer”.

Trust me, these two fragments are only the beginning of a great musical journey.
