288 | Max Richter on the Meaning of Classical Music Today

222.931 - 246.197 Sean Carroll

Max is a classical composer in a very real sense, but someone who has completely embraced the modern world rather than trying to fight against it. You can go to his Wikipedia page and find that he has passed one billion streams for his music and over a million album sales. Very, very good by the... Standards of Modern Classical Music. But he's a composer who works in a variety of media.
