## Description

DG releases a new, deluxe edition of Max Richter's The Blue Notebooks to celebrate its 15th anniversary with brand new artwork as well as new arrangements, remixes and a previously unreleased new track. Written in 2003, The BlueNotebooks was originally composed in protest to the 2003 invasion of Iraq and features readings by Tilda Swinton of selections from Kafka's The Blue Octavo Notebooks and Czeslaw Milosz's Hymn of the Pearl and Unattainable Earth.

Review: Beautiful and Blue - Our local classical station has been playing a few selections from this album. I was intrigued and, ultimately, very pleased to own the entire album. It's a mellow, thoughtful interpretation by the composer done in a diary format; only a few words/narration on two pieces that add immensely to the mood (blue) of the music. I am pleased to own and recommend the album; the production quality is excellent, too.
Review: Richter Music Rich - Beautiful, unusual, accessible. Richter's music is contemporary, with some touches that are both classical and avant garde. It is easy to listen to, but wonderfully challenging. Some won't like the voices or the odd sounds - but I love his pulling in all the peculiar means of getting us to listen to what may not normally be considered music. It is haunting and eerie and ethereal. As though angels, the new neighbors next door, and Richter all conspired to create something uniquely gorgeous and strange.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dreams From Another Time
*by B***S on September 12, 2012*

A wonderful, brooding, and well-planned mix of consonant contemporary classical music with some touches of ambiant electronics. Sometimes reminescent of Philip Glass, Arvo Part, and Brian Eno's ambient music, but without sounding too derivative. This is clearly Richter's best CD, and it's perhaps one of the best CD's of its genre, although it kinda creates its own genre. This is high praise.
