Max Richter - infra

We’ll be honest: we’re not really huge ballet fans here at RW. It was lucky for us, then, that FatCat’s instrumental arm, 130701 Records, saw fit to release Max Richter’s Royal Ballet-commissioned Infra score earlier this year. Expanded from the original piece that surfaced a couple of years ago, Infra contains some of the German-born composer’s most delicate and beautiful work to date. One of 2010’s most effective close-your-eyes-and-enjoy antidote to any shitty day.
