I enjoyed listening to that, especially to the music. It went well with the scenes.

Indeed, the clips are very well made and as beautiful as the music.
A pity so few people watch them (compared to for instance Taylor Swift. but then again her clips of her latest album "Folklore" are not bad either ;-)

I love Max Richter! He's part of that whole emerging "Indie Classical" scene of younger composers who design smaller chamber orchestral music for movies and video games (along with other folks like Ólafur Arnalds, New Amsterdam Records, Caroline Shaw/Roomful of Teeth on the more avant-garde end). The youngest composers still doing traditional orchestral I can think of are Tomas Adés and Eric Whitacre. I feel like Max Richter is fairly well known, but definitely not a household name. But then again, what living classical musician outside of Philip Glass can most people name today?

Philip, You just amazed me with throwing out names that I’ve never heard of like you’re naming animals at a zoo. And I don’t know a single person to whom you where referring but I applaud you for your knowledge of this subject. Thank you for dropping in and saying something!
