This must-see documentary follows neo-classical trailblazer Max Richter as he rewrites and reimagines Vivaldi's baroque violin concerto, “The Four Seasons.” German-born British composer and pianist Richter works within postminimalist and contemporary classical styles. Trained at the Royal Academy of Music in London, he studied composition under the innovative Luciano Berio in Italy. With elements of punk, psychedelic rock, and electronic music as inspiration, Richter's score omits seventy-five percent of Antonio Vivaldi's original material. This film charts the making of “Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons” and delivers fascinating behind-the-scenes moments.
