Release

In a Landscape was announced on 29 May 2024, with its release date set for 6 September by Decca Records.[3] On the album, Richter said:Page Template:Blockquote/styles.css has no content.

For me, 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. This is a dynamic I started to explore in my 2004 record The Blue Notebooks, and the new project shares many of that album's concerns; in a way this record is another look at the themes of the earlier work, but from the perspective of our world and our lives in 2024.[3]

With the announcement, Richter also released the lead single, "Movement, Before All Flowers", which ClashTemplate:'s Robin Murray called "a beautiful introduction, embodying a unique sense of control. Every note is purposeful, marked by the kind of audio painting Max Richter has long since made his own."[4]

Recording

In a Landscape is Richter's first solo album recorded in Studio Richter Mahr, the studio in Oxfordshire which he built with his wife, Yulia Mahr.[5][2]
