With expressive dance language, the attempt is made to conquer the forces of nature and make use of them.
Few works in contemporary music have been as eagerly awaited as Max Richter's arrangement of Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons . The album, released in 2012, was in the classical music charts in 22 countries, was streamed over 3 billion times and accompanied many films. With respect for the original, Richter's reading has lost none of Vivaldi's radiance and modernity. Alfonso Palencia works out Vivaldi's interplay between man and nature, combining it with Richter's modern interpretation and rethinking both in terms of the body's power of movement.
