Description
A single voice rising against a hush of strings.
Max Richter - Voices (2LP) is his most openly civic work, built around readings of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Kiki Layne’s narration on All Human Beings sits like a lighthouse within the orchestra, while Origins slowly gathers from piano and low strings into a kind of quiet march. It suits a late tram ride across Melbourne, when the city’s noise drops and the text lands with more weight.
This 2LP pressing gives the score room to breathe; space opens up between the strings and the spoken word, and imaging makes the layered voices feel precisely placed. The crowdsourced multilingual fragments appear and recede without smearing, keeping the musical argument clear.
File it next to Jóhann Jóhannsson for its patient minimalism and humanist ache, but Richter leans more directly into documentary texture here. Little swells and pauses do the heavy lifting, especially the way the cellos answer the final lines of All Human Beings, and the measured cadence that shapes Origins into something unexpectedly hopeful.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Max Richter records online with us.
A thoughtful, modern classical statement that rewards close listening and plays beautifully across a quiet room.
Perfect for anyone building a record collection, buy online or in store today.
