In 2020, amid widespread political turbulence and the grisliness of the pandemic, the composer Max Richter released Voices, a stirring audiovisual album, made in collaboration with the filmmaker Yulia Mahr, that was shaped from readings of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by people across the globe. Voices 2, his elegant follow-up, continues the work, but Richter understands the vexing limits of language. Rather than extend his exploration of text, he focusses on instrumentals that are ideal for introspection. The music, both orchestral and avant-garde, offers a space to ruminate on the project's first part - but it can also be seen as its own beatific escape into stillness.
