Max Richter - Three Worlds - Music from Woolf Works - Deutsche Grammophon

Max Richter explores time and memory in his latest Deutsche Grammophon album, Three Worlds: Music from Woolf Works

Virginia Woolf’s sharp eye for the detail of life guided her work as a writer, its presence felt in everything from pioneering novels and perceptive essays to compelling letters and diaries. The author’s gift for expressing fluid states of mind in lyrical prose and her ability to draw readers into the mindscapes of fictional characters and capture the peculiar meanderings of consciousness have influenced generations of artists since her death seventy-five years ago. Max Richter is the latest to evoke memories of Virginia. Three Worlds: Music from Woolf Works recalls her art’s vitality and the tragedy of a life scarred by mental illness and ended by suicide.

Richter’s album stems from his longer score for Woolf Works, choreographer Wayne McGregor’s first full-length creation for London’s Royal Ballet. Richter read several of Woolf’s novels, Mrs Dalloway and Orlando among them, when he was in his early twenties. While their language and imagery left lasting impressions, he discovered fresh perspectives on reading them again as part of the preparation for Woolf Works.

Three Worlds includes orchestral and solo instrumental sounds, music for wordless soprano, electronic compositions, and recordings from nature and the built environment. Its multi-layered collage of sounds and styles speaks of transformation and the impermanence of all things.

My entire traumatized childhood comes to mind. Now I am a 24-year-old young man, the burden of this pain is sometimes unbearable. Sometimes I think I have forgotten all the painful events I have experienced, but they all come to my mind in a very painful way, and in fact these events continue to destroy me in every aspect of my life. If you have small children, please love them. Do not leave him/her away from his/her mother and father. The greatest happiness in the world is for little children to be loved by their families. Maybe if I hadn't been abandoned by my mother and father at a young age, I wouldn't be here today. If you don't want your children to one day look for people who have suffered similar to themselves in a YouTube comment, take what I wrote seriously. Maybe love will not save the world, but love will save a child's entire life.

1:58 "I want to say that." Such a small addition, but it hits so very hard and always crushes me the most. So beautiful and heartbreaking in it's genuineness.

“And in me too the wave rises. It swells; it arches its back. I am aware once more of a new desire, something rising beneath me like the proud horse whose rider first spurs and then pulls him back. What enemy do we now perceive advancing against us, you whom I ride now, as we stand pawing this stretch of pavement? It is death. Death is the enemy. It is death against whom I ride with my spear couched and my hair flying back like a young man's, like Percival's, when he galloped in India. I strike spurs into my horse. Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, Oh Death!”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves

This is my escape from the futile, fake, angry, mean world we live in. Each note helps me ascend to something real, meaningful and deeply soothing.

The most devastating, poignant thing about Anderson's calm, deliberate narration (in comparison to the frenetic cross-cutting of The Hours with Kidman portraying Woolf) is that she reminds you it was also a love note to Leonard Woolf.

Gillian's voice is just... I love her.

[nigeyb]

Heartbreaking. A suicide note set to music. Just magnificent.

The other day a friend told me he was having trouble sleeping. I told him what worked for me. Tuesday by Max Ritcher. I put it on and fall asleep and when the song is finishing I wake up, so I have a 20 minute nap. It's perfect -I told him. He looked up the song and made fun of it in front of everyone. He wasn't the only one. They said it was psycho music. I told him that Max Richter was a genius and that I played his music when I'm writting. He knows that I write something but not that I have already written eight books. Thank goodness that before he mocked me he mentioned that he had no idea about music and in general about anything. Sometimes keeping friendships has its price.

Loved hearing this in Ad Astra...Had to tell my gf during the movie this was one of my favorite pieces of all time and has inspired my own writing

[uretanairobi]

ONE OF THE BEST COMPOSITIONS I´VE EVER LISTENED IN MY LIFE

[JaisonJFranklin]

This is the most beautiful song I ever heard in my life. And I've heard many

[manus.]

Es ist mit das Schönste, Einfühlsamste und Berührendste, was ich jemals gehört habe. Sie sind ein Meister, Herr Max Richter. Sie dringen mit dieser Musik tief in meine Seele!!! Danke für dieses Erlebnis.

Depression is an utterly consuming fire that sears all in whom it kindles.

I heard this agonized narration unflinchingly voiced today for the first time .. and I heard once more my ex wife's misery, whom this disease devoured over the course of 17 years of life together - that is, had she been able to look beyond the self deceptive mask it bound her by and honestly describe these all too familiar black holes within her that sucked the life out of us ..

The verbiage hauntingly recounted the continual, relentless conflagration that raged in her, a chorus of voices that never stopped in her head. It rekindled all too familiar anguish, pain that shredded her soul, and then, then the final release of her grip on the constant of love we once shared. She let me go with a vengeance and jettisoned me with her typically cheery callousness to chase an old flame thinking he'll be better ..

It's been 10 years since our lives ended. And today, even after a wonderful marriage with a new wife whom I adore and cant think of life without, 10 years later ... I wept for what happened to her, to us, and for the hell all struggling with it carry. I cried inconsolably for about 10 minutes, then realized there was nothing else to do and nowhere else to go.

I could only commend her to the dark path she chose to go without me, turned YouTube off and then held my eternal love close to me, our hearts beating together.

If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. - Can you imagine reading that?

[bean_boy]

this music embodies the longing of connection and hopelessness in life, yet simultaneously calls onto the self-isolating loneliness and that fear of the sting of death.
this is what being suicidal is
this "conflict of interests", so to speak
rising to a crescendo only when one makes their choice

[krisfinot]

Last night, i saw and listen the most beautiful piece in LV Fundation. Thanks so much Mr Richter

[prodical]

I had the pleasure of being at the first live concert for this album performed in Oxford. This track was amazing with the live orchestra.

[shaym]

It’s like the sirens and waves are weeping and silently screaming. How mesmerizing and haunting. My soul feels as though it’s ascending and drowning all at once . 🌊🖤

I come back from cinema, where I went to see this film with my 13 year old son ... A real shock !!!
It is incredible, with sensations worthy of the greatest masterpieces. The realism is impressive, and the music is exceptional, as it is in perfect communion with images worthy of an inner mystical experience, or external.
  It feels like you're on the moon, you feel like you're on Mars, you feel like you're in space ...
It feels like you're alone in your head ...
And I had the impression of being both son and father, capable of the best and the worst.
I too will try to love ...
