Max Richter

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of Max Richter in (just under) twenty minutes.

Richter was born in Hamelin, Germany and grew up in Bedford, England. He studied composition and piano at the University of Edinburgh and at the Royal Academy of Music. After completing his studies, Richter co-founded the contemporary classical ensemble Piano Circus. He stayed with the group for ten years, commissioning and performing works by minimalist musicians such as Arvo Pärt, Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Julia Wolfe, and Steve Reich. The ensemble was signed to Decca/Argo, producing five albums.

Richter now arranges, performs, and composes music for stage, opera, ballet and screen. He has collaborated with many other musicians, as well as with performance, installation and media artists. He has recorded eight solo albums, and his music is widely used in cinema.

In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.
