Max Richter

In the organizer's words:

Max Richter announces his highly anticipated new album "In A Landscape" and his first ever world tour with four concerts in Germany.

"In A Landscape", Richter's ninth studio album, will be released on Friday, September 6th on Decca Records. The new album represents a significant step in Richter's musical development: The composer delves deeper into themes of optimism and human emotion, while also tapping into electronic sounds and nature recordings in innovative ways. This recording is about the reconciliation of opposites, the fusion of electronic and acoustic spheres, human and natural worlds, the big questions and quiet joys of life - a fleeting self-portrait of a restless musician.

"In A Landscape" uses a homogeneous musical language similar to that of Richter's first album "The Blue Notebooks"; the two albums form the beginning and end of an essential chapter in Richter's life and career. The work enters into an open conversation with the audience, inviting listeners to reflect on dualities in their own lives - such as personal narratives that come to mind while listening. It is ultimately an invitation to imagine.

Max Richter himself puts it this way: "For me, the music on this recording aims to connect or reconcile polarities. The electronic instruments with the acoustic ones, the natural world with the human world, and the great concepts of life with the very personal and intimate. I had already begun to explore this dynamic in my 2004 recording "The Blue Notebooks", and this new project has much in common with the concerns of that recording; you could say this recording is a new look at the themes of the earlier work, but from the perspective of our contemporary world and reality of life in 2024."

To accompany "In a Landscape", Richter has also announced details of his first world tour, in which the globally acclaimed musician will bow to his international audience. According to the recently released tour schedule, Richter will perform in 2024 and 2025 on numerous stages in the UK, Europe, North America, Canada, Australia and Asia, including London's legendary Royal Festival Hall and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Concerts are also planned in Berlin, Hamburg, Wiesbaden and Munich in November and December 2024.
