Albums of the Year 2024 - Number 30

Max Richter presents his 9th studio album 'In A Landscape'. 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 memoir of the present moment”.

In his own words, Max describes the music on the record as being about “connecting or reconciling polarities. the tracks themselves are, as ever, my attempts to figure out how to make sense of our lives in the here and now of our daily life as I experience it.”

One of the most influential and acclaimed composers of all time, Max's fusion of classical technique and electronic technology, heard across genre-defining solo projects, countless scores for film, dance, art and fashion, has won him legions of fans world-over, and blazed a trail for a generation of artists.
