Voices

Max Richter

A massive, humanitarian soundscape blending global voices with an 'upside down' orchestra. Deeply moving, bass-heavy, and intentionally hopeful.

July 31, 2020 · Decca (UMO) (Classics)

A profound sense of collective hope emerging from a foundation of somber, bass-heavy reflection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from Eleanor Roosevelt's archival crackle to Kiki Layne's clear modern narration in the opening track.
The weight of the 'upside down' orchestra where double basses and cellos provide a thick, grounding floor for the choral swells.
The haunting repetition of the word 'everyone' during the climax of Chorale, creating a ritualistic sense of unity.
