*The music of German-born and UK based neoclassical composer Max Richter (b. 1966) has been attracting a lot of renewed interest over the last few years and deservedly so. His music has recently featured on several high profile films such as Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominated Waltz with Bashir (2008), on Martin Scorcese’s Shutter Island (2010) or on the international trailers for Prometheus (2012) and To the Wonder (2012). But it is probably his “rewrite” of Vivaldi’s four seasons with the superb Recomposed project (2012) that has brought his music to a wider audience.

Dating back to 2002, Max Richter’s début solo album Memoryhouse was originally recorded with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and released on the Late Junction label (after the BBC Radio 3 programme of the same name). Following the demise of the label, the record went out of print but was re-released in 2009 by Independent Brighton-based label FatCat Records.

Introduced as experimental “documentary music”, Memoryhouse consists of “a 65-minute journey through the beauty and tragedy of 20th century Europe” (BBC Review) with a series of nostalgic and powerful pieces, ranging from minimalist piano motifs (Embers) to a poetry reading arranged for orchestra on Maria, the poet (1913) or dramatic soprano singing on tracks like Sarajevo.

Embers by Max Richter was also used in the six-part 2005 BBC documentary Auschwitz: The Nazis and 'The Final Solution' is a six-episode documentary film series presenting the story of Auschwitz concentration camp.
