Each couple of decades has its own "Adagio for strings", a slow, bittersweet chamber piece for strings that reflects the contradictions and challenges of the time and escapes classical music prison into pop stardom.

[@d0nj03]

@@TheCompleteGuitarist Those are both choral pieces and are very different from On the Nature of Daylight, especially that second one with its disturbing dissonant sections. Maybe you could get closer with Eric Whitacre's "Lux Aurumque" (but it's not as bittersweet). But really you can find much more similar symphonic (or "modern classical") pieces on Jóhann Jóhannsson's "Orphée" album, especially "Flight From the City", which already shows up in KZbin's recommendations when you're listening to Nature of Daylight. (Probably no coincidence that Jóhann's work was also used for the Arrival OST.)

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

@@d0nj03 I never said they were the same as On the Nature of Daylight. There are string versions of both. Both pieces are very moving. In both string and choral versions. You don't have to like them. I don't want another version of On the Nature of Daylight. Just music that moves me. In-fact I am equally moved by Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin. Vaughn William's Lark Ascending and Copeland's Appalacian spring.

if you want to listen to more of Max’s stuff (really who wouldn’t) he recomposed all of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and they are exquisitely beautiful. highly recommend!

[@haruko1501]

Yes, 'Recomposed'! Would've loved for them to play it here, but oh well, I guess I'll go and listen to the album again

[@lifeonholidae]

I would like to second this. Absolutely beautiful!

[@Iamthenoi]

What does recomposes mean exactly? To you at least?

[@rebster6716]

@@Iamthenoi Well, he took the melodies from Vivaldi's Four Seasons and reworked them almost entirely. It still feels like Four Seasons in a way, but his 'recomposing' has stripped it down to its most raw and exhilarating parts. I think it's truly amazing... please listen if you can! The Summer section is my favorite

The first time I heard of Max Richter was through NPR - the "recomposed" four seasons. I thought to myself "what arrogance! How can you recompose one of the greatest pieces of music of all time?" I listened to it and have been blown away by his music ever since

Had tears in my eyes on the first piece. A beautiful Tiny Desk Concert

[@jazzsingers]

it is so unbelievable sad und peaceful together, my tears don`t stop crying. What a wonderful arrangement!

[@klausmcclean3369]

OMG! 17 minutes of heaven. I love Max Richter’s music and would give anything to see and hear an entire live concert...

I had to write a comprehensive concert report on this video for a music class I'm taking in college, and I am pleasantly pleased with its results. I feel honored to have been able to analyze this music in depth and be gracious enough to hear it. Thank you very much.
