Introducing EXILES… featuring orchestral versions of some of Max Richter’s early works alongside the soundtrack to Sol León & Paul Lightfoot’s ballet Singulière Odyssée, the new album was recorded in Tallinn in 2019 with conductor Kristjan Järvi and the Baltic Sea Philharmonic.
“Baltic Sea Philharmonic is a really interesting orchestra. It consists of young players from all the nations around the Baltic Sea so that obviously includes former Western European countries, former Eastern European countries, so it’s a little bit of a social project. It has this ‘peacemaking’ function, people being able to talk to each other in a creative way. It struck me that it would be nice to have that orchestra play music that matched that theme.” – Max Richter
For now, the first taste of the record, a short edit of the 33-minute title track, is now available on all digital music platforms.
