Memoryhouse

The new reissue of German-born composer Max Richter's Memoryhouse serves as a jolting reminder of just how much classical music has broken outside of its shell and into other realms during the last decade.

Memoryhouse may be Max Richter's debut album, but he had been developing his unique mix of contemporary classical and electronics for years before it was released.

Memoryhouse finds Richter at a germinal stage, ranging between the somewhat dry and the heartily excessive.

Judging on talent alone, the British-German composer Max Richter deserves as much ink as Nico Muhly.

Max Richter - Memoryhouse review: Max Richter debuts on a strong note, but unfortunately, he seems to have taken on more than he could handle at the time.
