He has composed ballets for the Royal Opera House as well as collections of ringtones. Richter is a genre-defying British composer fond of employing electronic elements. Improving isn’t really possible, so something new must be created off the old substance – and that is exactly what Max Richter’s re-composition manages. To paraphrase my earlier review: No one needs a mock-original or likeness of the Four Seasons. In doing so Fullana not only offers an alternative reading, which is something we should want to have of all worthy compositions, but he also presents this inspired 21 st century Vivaldi-knock-off in a new setting by interpolating the four concertos with three 20 th century violin (solo and solo + piano) bonbons. 8 No.Francisco Fullana is, to my knowledge, the first violinist to record Max Richter’s ingenious Four Seasons Recomposed since the initial outing with Daniel Hope on Deutsche Grammphon (among my favorite recordings of 2012).
