Infra

"... Infra started life as a collaboration with choreographer Wayne McGregor and artist Julian Opie, and some of the material here was originally the score for a ballet inspired by Eliot's "The Wasteland." The result made for some stirring dance, I'm sure, but expanded and revised into a full 40-minute program for piano, string quartet and (mostly) subtle electronics Infra stands wonderfully on its own ... By adding just the right amount of static to the sugar of his sweeping arrangements, Richter's created an album that's precisely balanced between accessibility and depth, desolation and joy, melody and noise".

"... Infra works as an enveloping and moving work even absent any knowledge of its beginnings. Others may glean different feelings from it than I do, but that is part of the point. Even if it conjures nothing of the night for you, it is some of Richter's very best work. And if you've ever cared about his music, it will make you feel something".

"... Infra is another high-concept project, a ballet inspired by T.S. Eliot's classic poem of yearning and regret ... Whether Richter explores abstract drones as on "Journey 3," reminds listeners of what a sensitive player he is on piano-driven pieces such as "Journey 1" and "Infra 3," or unites the work's elements on major pieces like "Infra 5" and "Infra 7," he does so with a masterful restraint that gives Infra's slate-gray moods maximum impact. This may be the most subdued of Richter's Fat Cat releases, but every nuance shows the care with which he crafts all of his music".
