First heard at London’s Barbican Centre in 2012, Max Richter’s Four Seasons Recomposed, his iTunes classical chart-topping interpretation of the Vivaldi classic, premieres here at Turner Sims, Southampton, in a concert by són, the city’s professional orchestra.
Famed for his soundtrack to the recent BBC hit Taboo, Richter takes Vivaldi’s masterpiece as the starting point of a work described as ‘a startling musical transformation…drifting ambient soundscapes and monumental walls of sound’.
Violinist Thomas Gould is the soloist for Four Seasons Recomposed. Leader of the world-renowned Britten Sinfonia, and one of the UK’s foremost interpreters of contemporary music, Gould has been described by The Guardian as ‘one of the new generation of classical musicians’.
