With summer finally arriving at the festival, Richter brings all four seasons, remixed and wonderful

It’s a clever clogs treatment which changes shape once again as Richter brings the project to the final day of All Together Now. The German-born British composer is dressed in simple black and grey. His name shines brightly on the screen overhead. He is joined by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra for a live deconstruction of Vivaldi that brims with pure joy.
Visually, the performance is arresting. Richter stands in front of the orchestra. He is mysteriously manipulating a laptop – for all we know he could be booking his holidays. Arranged across the stage are the RTÉ players, while front and centre is Norwegian violinist Mari Samuelsen. The spotlight is as much on her as Richter.
Classical music is traditionally enjoyed sitting down. Watched in a tent at a festival there is the curious sensation of observing an experiment that shouldn’t work. It helps that the audience, having soaked up a day of sunshine, is in the mood for something different. Which is one word for the punter at the back holding up what appears to be a huge cardboard likeness of Enoch Burke.
