MAX RICHTER
EXILES
Boomkat Product Review:
‘Exiles’ is as close as you’ll get to a Max Richter remix album, presenting five expansive “reimaginings” of his contemporary classical anthems, plus the brand new, 33 minute title piece
As deployed everywhere from Hollywood blockbusters to a ballet about Virginia Woolf and a Fendi runway, Richter’s arrangements are prized for their capacity to swell hearts. On ‘Exiles’ he reworks some of his own highlights such as the instantly recognisable and frankly massively overused ‘On The Nature of Daylight’, and the Bowie favoured ’Sunlight’ (off ‘Songs From Before’) with renewed vigour and scope, while also expressing his feelings on the ongoing tragedy of the migrant crisis in ‘Exiles’, a hauntingly tense, widescreen and dramatic 33min work that places the record in the here and now.
The reimagined take of ‘On the Nature of Daylight’ reinforces its stately swell, while Bowie fave ’Sunlight’ lands in the shadows of his Berlin classics, and the reworked peak of ‘Infra 5’ is bound to get driving gloved hands slapping the walnut dash. But the real standout is ‘Exiles’, a compassionate elegy for migrant crisis, developed from a conversation with Dutch choreographers Sol León and Paul Lightfoot into a soundtrack for Nederlands Dans Theater.
