Max Richter: The Blue Notebooks (20 Year Edition) 2LP
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Max Richter’s The Blue Notebooks with this limited-edition 2-LP pressing of Max Richter's career-defining, cinematic, second solo album.
Opening with a text from Franz Kafka over a sparse piano melody, The Blue Notebooks moves through heart-wrenching strings of “On The Nature Of Daylight” to interwoven piano, cello, violin and viola alongside electronic beats (made using a variety of antique electronics and Reaktor), spoken word passages and other sounds generated via old guitar pedals and vocoders.
