Richter: Sleep (8CD+Blu-Ray)
Max Richter (Piano, Organ, Synthesizers, Electronics), with Grace Davidson (Soprano) & American Contemporary Music Ensemble
[ Deutche Grammophon / 9 CD/Blu-ray Disc ]
Release Date: Friday 11 December 2015
Fashioned as "an eight-hour lullaby" by its composer, Sleep is scored for piano, strings, electronics and vocals - but no words. "It's a manifesto for the slower pace of existence," says Richter, who has previously referred to the work as "my personal lullaby for a frenetic world."
Prior to Sleep, Max Richter had composed and released five solo albums and "recomposed" Vivaldi's Four Seasons for a best-selling album in 2012. He originally came up with the concept for Sleep because of a long-standing fascination. "Sleeping is one of the most important things we do", he said when Sleep was first released. "We spend a third of our lives asleep and it's always been one of my favourite things, ever since I was a child. We are all in need of a pause button."
