Max Richter’s ninth studio album ‘In a landscape’ marks a significant evolution in Richter’s musical journey, as he delves deeper into the themes of optimism and human emotion accompanied by an innovative exploration of electronic sounds and field recordings.
It is a record about reconciling polarities, bringing together the electronic and the acoustic, the human and the natural world, the big questions of life and the quiet pleasures of living – a fleeting self-portrait of a musician in constant motion. He says: “the music on the record is about connecting or reconciling polarities. The electronics with the acoustic instruments, the natural world with the human world, and the big ideas of life with the personal and intimate”.
The album is released via Decca Records. Furthermore, in September Richter begins his first ever world tour which takes him in four months around the globe, and on which he will also be performing The Blue Notebooks, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
