World premiere recording of Richter’s electrifying ballet music "Exiles". Originally commissioned for Singulière Odyssée (2016) by Sol León and Paul Lightfoot, premiered by Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT). First release of previously unreleased opening piece from Woolf Works - “Flowers of Herself”. Featuring new orchestral-versions of best performing iconic Richter catalogue tracks. Released via Deutsche Grammophon and pressed at maximum fidelity, this is a collectors piece of neo-classical brilliance no home should be without!

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: This is an absolutely essential collection of some of Richter's most beautiful rescored back catalogue pieces, as well as the full disc of the title track, written for ballet in 2016. A perfect juxtaposition of this hugely talented artist's various realms of work.

Building on the musical material of the first record, VOICES 2 extends the musical language into a purely instrumental and abstract direction. Where the first part of the project is very focused on the text of The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, the 2nd part opens up a musical space to let these words and ideas sink in.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Richter is never one to stay on the same theme for too long. He's worked on soundtracks and solo albums, but his 'Voices' project from last year was an interesting and important new direction. The second instalment of the same sees the spoken word swapped out in order to focus on the gorgeous musical phrasing and leaning more into his neo-classical roots. I've never been anything but imporessed with any of Richter's work, and this is no exception. Lovely stuff.

Over a decade after its inception, ground-breaking composer Max Richter announces the release of VOICES – a major new recording project inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In a time of dramatic global change, VOICES offers a musical message of hope. Max Richter invited people around the world to be part of the piece, crowd-sourcing readings of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to be interwoven into the work, which features an ‘upside-down’ orchestra. He received hundreds of submissions in over 70 languages. These readings form the aural landscape that the music flows through: they are the VOICES of the title.

Max Richter explains, “I like the idea of a piece of music as a place to think, and it is clear we all have some thinking to do at the moment. We live in a hugely challenging time and, looking around at the world we have made, it’s easy to feel hopeless or angry. But, just as the problems we face are of our own making, so their solutions are within our reach, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is something that offers us a way forward. Although it isn’t a perfect document, the declaration does represent an inspiring vision for the possibility of better and kinder world.”

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A new Max Richter! There are few things that can quiet my cat but Richter is one of them, and now we have a brand new album from the master of modern classical. This time we get the addition of softly spoken voices, beautifully harmonising with the layers of brittle strings and piano we've come to expect.
