And hats off to (le) Poisson Rouge for making it happen.L'amatissimo capolavoro di Vivaldi datato 1725 si è dimostrato nel corso del tempo un'opera imprescindibile per un pubblico estremamente vario: i suoi celebri movimenti dedicati alle stagioni rappresentano il più onnipresente repertorio della musica classica. In The Guardian’s review of Richter’s album, Richter is quoted as saying: “My aim was to fall in love with the original again – and I have.” I have to admit, I agree with Richter. This movement proved particularly tricky, as its melody sounded so similar to the original, barring one exception: the downbeat was skipped, bringing this 18th-century piece into modern times.Īlthough much of Richter’s recomposed concerto was unfamiliar and new, fragments of Vivaldi’s tunes were interspersed throughout. In “Winter” especially, Hope’s fingers dashed across the bow of his violin, with the entire string section following close behind. A complex concerto, at times the music is gentle and delicate, but at others, the tempo is incredibly quick. But just imagine the grueling work Hope had to go through, retraining his fingers and his memory to play Richter’s notes. An incredible performer, one would assume that Richter’s avant-garde remix is the only Four Seasons Hope has ever heard or played.
