Violinist Angèle Dubeau and her orchestra La Pietà have recorded musical portraits of many composers, including Philip Glass, Ludovico Einaudi and John Adams. Their latest musical portrait album features selected works of Max Richter.
Max Richter is a composer, producer, pianist and remix artist. His music has appeared in over 50 films, including “Shutter Island,” “Waltz with Bashir” and “Arrival” (for which he received an Academy Award nomination).
Richter’s music has also been used by ballet and theater companies all over the world. The new “Portrait” album includes a variety of selections from his film and television scores.
Angèle Dubeau founded LaPietàin 1997. This all-female ensemble was originally formed for occasional recordings, but it is now one of Canada’s most respected instrumental ensembles.
