The beautiful thing about this album is it really does feel like three albums wrapped into one: each section possessing its own unique heartbeat. Based on Virginia Woolf novels, it requires no prior knowledge of the books for interpretation. Across three very different acts, the music does all the talking for us - from the serene opening tracks to a jarring midsection, and an expansive and experimental closer. Whether you're completely unfamiliar with Richter's extensive list of works or you're an avid fan, Three Worlds has a little something for everyone.

The "Three Worlds," I think, are meant to be represented by the terrains through which the music moves through; the first few songs sound like pure funeral music; the middle segment has a classical/electronic sound that comes off as other-wordly in ostensible sense; the last two to three tracks then achieve the sensation of departing one world and entering the next, a seemingly split-second moment caught in stand-still, as if the price one pays for ending their life yields a pure, desolate limbo as their final, eternal burden.

This single disk release is a breeze to get through compared to last years 8 hour marathon, Sleep. It's made up of highlights from the Royal Ballet production of Woolf Works. The album starts off melancholy and finishes with Gillian Anderson reading Virginia Woolf's suicide note, so (as you can imagine) it is not the most cheerful piece--but it doesn't get bogged down in sadness either. It is rather beautiful.
