![]() Classical music, for me, has always served as a type of background, its own kind of soft, soothing chatter. And, as I learned just before the Globe performance, Verdi and Vivaldi are not, in fact, the same composer. Not that I can really distinguish between Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and Strauss.

The performance combined Richter’s composition with the ingenuity of Gyre & Gimble’s narrative puppeteering, an unlikely pairing that recalls musicals-think War Horse, or the Lion King-more than classical concerts. Last Friday night, Ertegun took a trip to Shakespeare’s Globe to see the ‘Four Season’s Reimagined,’ Max Richter’s fresh take on Vivaldi’s masterpiece.
