About Playlist
Ólafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm, Max Richter, Poppy Ackroyd, Peter Broderick, Joana Gama... In recent years, these popular names have all been grouped under the vast and imprecise label "neoclassical". In truth, this "scene" looks more like a motley crew of curious artists who mix classical instruments with electronic production. Drawing influence from American minimalism, these musicians tantalise the senses and expand horizons on both sides of the musical spectrum.
Max Richter, Neo-classical Activist
by Smaël Bouaici
With the release of his new album Exile, a reflection on exile with the Baltic Sea Orchestra, the iconoclast and prolific pioneer of the neo-classical movement confirms his status as one of the most ideologically committed artists out there. Melding classical and electronic music, physical and emotional worlds, he produces instrumental works of rare evocative power.
Richter's 2015 album Sleep was an 8-hour lullaby for which he consulted a neuroscientist specialising in sleep - the objective was to heal the listener. Finding a place for the listener, on the other hand, is the driving idea of his audiovisual project Voices, which was launched in 2020 with visual artist and director Yulia Mahr, with whom he has been with for 30 years. The concept of Voices, a musical work conceived of a place for reflection and based on the aspirations of the 1948 Declaration of Human Rights, is eminently political. But its message is not conveyed in words: Voices contains no voices. It is through music that Max Richter tries to "build a better world”, introducing a whole procession of positive emotions in long passages that flit between ambient and neoclassical. As a student of Brian Eno, one of his most important influences, Max Richter builds a series of absolutely fascinating meditative sequences. These are almost more therapeutic than musical, as if the composer had found the musical frequency of peace and contentment. This record is exactly what the Covid-scarred world needed.
In 2021, the composer, regretting the disappearance of political criticism from his music in recent decades, took up a social message again with his new album Exiles. For this new project, he teamed up with one of the most iconoclastic orchestras of the moment, the Baltic Sea Orchestra, which brings together musicians from countries surrounding the Baltic Sea, crossing the old borders between East and West, and playing from memory, without a score. The album consists of orchestral versions of older songs by Max Richter (excerpts from Infra, Waltz with Bashir and The Blue Notebooks) and others from the soundtrack of Sol León Paul Lightfoot's ballet, Singular Odyssey, whose soundtrack he wrote in 2017, as a “reflection on travel and transformation”. With the migrant crisis in mind, Richter creates a work that brilliantly straddles the physical and the emotional with touches like the repetitive motif of the piece 'Exiles' which symbolises walking, movement, exodus. This record is still perfectly in step with the times. Max Richter, one of the most politically committed artists in the music world, wouldn't want, much less know how, to do anything else: "It’s like Nina Simone said: ‘An artist’s duty … is to reflect the times.’"
