Max Richter @ Nocturne Live, Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire


Perfect summer's evening in Blenheim Palace's Great Court, with the sky gradually clearing and the stars slowly appearing above our heads as the gig progressed.
First half consisted of his re-composition of Vivaldi's Four Seasons with Darragh Morgan leading impressively on violin.
Short interval at then Three Worlds culminating in 'Tuesday, a twenty minute opus that climaxes eventually, but it is one of those pieces that you just want to keep building.
