Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of this 2004 release by the German-born British composer, who is considered to be one of the most influential composers of the last ten years. The Blue Notebooks was Max Richter's second solo album, a distinctive and adventurous work that is beautifully recorded and cinematic in scope. Opening with a text from Franz Kafka over a sparse piano melody, the album moves through heart-wrenching strings of On The Nature Of Daylight to lyrical piano pieces. Using piano, cello, violin and viola, alongside electronic beats (made using a variety of antique electronics and Reaktor), spoken word passages and the occasional field recording (including a very realistic crow that you probably think comes from your garden); other sounds were generated via old guitar pedals and vocoders. The Blue Notebooks, On the Nature of Daylight, Horizon Variations, Shadow Journal, Iconography, Vladimir's Blues, Arboretum, Old Song, Organum, The Trees, Written on the Sky
