Sleep

by Max Richter

Sleep cover art

An astonishingly ambitious eight-and-a-half-hour conceptual piece deliberately composed in consultation with neuroscientists to soundtrack a full night's rest. Built upon gentle, recurring piano motifs, sweeping strings, and soothing choral drones, it operates as a profound 'lullaby for a frenetic world'. Its unprecedented duration and functional utility made it a massive, unconventional success within the modern classical sphere.
