In A Landscape CD
Release date: 6 September, 2024
Max Richter’s ninth solo album – the first to be written and recorded at his serene new studio in rural Oxfordshire – is a fleeting self-portrait of a musician in constant motion. In A Landscape is a record about “reconciling polarities”, as Richter puts it, bringing together the electronic and the acoustic, the human and the natural world, the big questions of life and the quiet pleasures of living.

Reviews
“A welcome ode to the simple act of listening. Inject it into your veins if you must – or just lie back and let it wash over you” - Clash - 8/10
“In the Richter tradition, In a Landscape is elegiac and resigned yet quietly triumphant” - Pitchfork.
“[A] beautiful album, which blends acoustic & electronic, sprinkles in field recordings and serves as a stock take for one of modern music’s most eclectic & exciting composers” - Rolling Stone UK
“Some of Richter’s best work” - SPIN
“Richter has consistently redefined what music with classical roots might be capable of in a digital age” - The Economist
