 I'm confused March 28, 2013 By Martin Pinsky (Middleburg, FL) See All My Reviews "Why would anyone want billing as the recomposer of Vivaldi? Why doesn't Richter write his own music? I can see a transcription of a keyboard work, but to recompose? Where are the purists? Why aren't they screaming? you know the ones that drive pianists nuts when they play Bach on piano? I am still trying to get over neurotic cuckold Mahler reorchestrating Leonore 3. Leave the masters alone-- there is a difference between variant interpretations and this silly novelty nonsense of "recomposing?" What next? playing Vivaldi backwards? I think these alleged musicians have too much time on their hands." Report Abuse
 brilliant rework March 5, 2013 By Chen C. (Xindian Dist., New Taipei City) See All My Reviews "the most exciting thing happened for classic music in 2012" Report Abuse
 #1 classical album of the year! January 4, 2013 By JUAN M R. (CHICAGO, IL) See All My Reviews "I bought this disc as soon as it was released. I also downloaded it from iTunes. It is my humble opinion that this disc, already named #1 classical disc on iTunes, is one of the best albums I have heard in a very long, long time! Vivaldi's music has been "recomposed" in a masterful way by Herr Richter. I gave the disc to my Lady Friend and she loved it! I listen to my iTunes download every day! So far, I haven't gotten tired of listening to it and I don't believe I ever will. It's that good!!!" Report Abuse
