Album insights

Max Richter's "Infra" marked the commencement of his collaborative work with the Royal Ballet, London, and British choreographers Wayne McGregor. Premiered in 2008 as a response to the 7/7 bombings, the ballet sparked a restless creative process in Richter, leading to a full album. Drawing inspiration from Schubert's Winterreise, Wilhelm Muller's song cycle, and T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," Richter crafted a mesmerizing sound blending piano, string quartet, and electronics. Pitchfork describes the music as achingly beautiful.
