From Sleep (Deutsche Grammophon 0289 479 5267 1 DDD GH).

Monumental work that will certainly stay Max Richter's milestone in his discography, Sleep intends to be a lullaby for our frenetic world. A moment of peace for those who haven't the time to take the time anymore.

Non-Eternal really stands out in these 500 minutes of continuous music, meant to accompany you in your sleep and gently ride the wave of your dreams next to you. Taking place in the middle of your night, the track first unfurls ghostly vocals echoing in the unseizable distances of space. A melancholic lullaby of a lost childish memory, reverberating in our inner world as a delicate catharsis to reach the edge of oblivion. A lone voice conversing with itself, eternally feeding over its own circling harmonics.

The main melodic theme is eventually replaced by concrete classical orchestrations of piano and strings, naturally taking over the legacy of the previous vocals. A real conversation now emerges between the two instruments, pushing the night and our intrinsic feelings forwards through the night. A lacrymal complementarity born in the nothingness and raised on chaos catches our last errating thoughts to focus on the unique goal to reach peace.

With Sleep, Max Richter invited himself in our lives when we are the most vulnerable, and brought gentleness in a world that cruelly lacks of it. This is also why this album is particularly effective and positive when listened to under a blanket, in a bed, when the moon is leisurely shining over our heads...
