This record rules. The pieces are so different from one another but are all incredibly good. Rad stuff.

Clouded Yellow
by Kronos Quartet & Michael Gordon
supported by 92 fans who also own “René Lussier: Nocturnal”
I don't need every Kronos performance to be one that shakes me to my essence, but I do always want them to be interesting. Kronos has been my gateway to discovering a lot of composers I never knew of before, so this one is worth checking out.

mystery sonatas
by David Lang, Augustin Hadelich

This is stunning. Everything about it is superb: the composition, the playing, the recording. To hear the violin played with a glass-cutting purity, and to hear the melodies unfurl one not at a time is a sublime experience. This is immaculately crafted music, with a power and control that belies it monophonic delicacy. Easily my top modern classical release of 2018
