1	Winter Was Hard (1989) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet Winter Was Hard is a fairly typical early mélange type recording by Kronos, mixing in au courant contemporary fare with a downtown edge and 20th century classics. Of the former, John Zorn's "Forbidden Fruit" (originally available on his album Spillane) is the standout composition, one of the very best pieces he ever wrote in this idiom. Mixing ... see all copies from $3.15! new only from $14.52!
2	Early Music (Lachrymae Antiquae) (1997) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet What's interesting about the latest outing from this prolific chamber group is not so much that they've chosen to create string quartet adaptations of music from the late-Middle Ages and early-Renaissance -- after all, the Kronos Quartet are folks who have commissioned arrangements of Jimi Hendrix and Bo Diddley, so their fans have learned not to ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $16.72!

4	Kronos Quartet Performs Philip Glass (1995) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet see all copies from $7.61! new only from $16.37!
5	Nuevo (2002) more music like this by Kronos Quartet The Kronos Quartet has achieved a lot in its time, but in Nuevo has managed a true milestone in a very auspicious career. The quartet has taken the music of Mexican composers, from the classical (such as Agustin Lara) to the kitsch (Juan Garcia Esquivel), and including the impressionistic (Osvaldo Golijov, who did most of the adventurous ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $16.37!
6	Pieces of Africa (1992) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet When released, Pieces of Africa was subject to some of the same "cultural imperialist" criticism that had been more successfully leveled at performers like David Byrne and Paul Simon. The album consists of commissions from African composers working at varying distances from European conventions. But whereas Byrne and Simon arguably used the music ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $7.00!
7	Music of Bill Evans (1985) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet For their second and final jazz project, the adventurous Kronos Quartet (a top classical string quartet) performed eight Bill Evans compositions, plus "Nardis" (which Evans always claimed Miles Davis stole from him). Three songs apiece add either guitarist Jim Hall or bassist Eddie Gomez. The members of Kronos (David Harrington and John Sherba on ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.84!
8	At the Grave of Wagner (1993) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet see all copies from $5.12! new only from $11.10!
9	You've Stolen My Heart: Songs from R.D. Burman's Bollywood (2005) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet with Asha Bhosle The Kronos Quartet has been confounding purists and expectations with their commissions and collaborations for years, but this one has to be among their most adventurous yet. For You've Stolen My Heart, they collaborated with Asha Bhosle, one of India's best-loved singers, to pay tribute to R.D. Burman, India's most renowned film composer. Burman ... see all copies from $17.56! new only from $17.56!

11 view cover	White Man Sleeps (1990) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet This album features the original version of "White Man Sleeps," written in 1982, and "Mbira" from 1980. If you think landmark European 17th/18th century baroque instruments and African musical structures are irreconcilable opposites and you are open enough to change your mind, this is the album for you. These pieces of Kevin Volans belong indeed ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $14.52!

13 view cover	Peteris Vasks: String Quartet No. 4 (2003) by Kronos Quartet see all copies from $6.94! new only from $6.94!
14 view cover	Short Stories (1993) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet You've got to hand it to the Kronos Quartet. They've figured it out: you play a piece because it's great, not because it's part of the string quartet repertoire, or even because it's "classical." If that means a concert program that features works by both Bo Diddley and Alfred Schnittke, so be it. They've also figured out that once you hook ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.45!

16 view cover	Ghost Opera (1997) by The Kronos Quartet For Tan Dun's Ghost Opera, the Kronos Quartet had their instrumental abilities stretched to include various percussion, wind instruments, and vocals and were joined by pipa virtuoso Wu Man. The first sound one hears is a hand being drawn through a bowl of water. Soon, strains of Bach appear, accompanied by the pipa, an ancient Chinese lute, and ... see all copies from $10.60! new only from $10.60!
17 view cover	All the Rage (1993) more music like this by Bob Ostertag & Kronos Quartet This stirring release was written by acclaimed composer/sampler artist Bob Ostertag, and performed alongside the Kronos Quartet. A stark response to the AIDS epidemic (with the proceeds of all sales of this disc going to AIDS research), the quartet follows an opening sing-spiel narrative before diving into a section of Ostertag's cut-up loops of ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $5.00!
18 view cover	String Quartet (1991) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet For this Elektra/Nonesuch release, the Kronos Quartet interprets Witold Lutoslawski's 1964 String Quartet, an uncommonly difficult piece since the four musicians are commanded to play their parts ad lib , as if they were alone. Lutoslawski was influenced by the random procedures of John Cage, but he also wished to maintain dramatic structure, so ... see all copies from $10.60! new only from $10.60!
19 view cover	Monk Suite (1984) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet The Kronos Quartet, a very open-minded classical string quartet, caused a lot of eyebrows to be raised with this unusual set. They perform eight Thelonious Monk compositions and two Duke Ellington pieces that Monk had recorded. All of the notes played by the strings were written out in advance by arranger Tom Darter but the improvising bassist Ron ... see all copies from $8.25! new only from $16.05!
20 view cover	Schnittke: Complete String Quartets (1998) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet see all copies from $28.85! new only from $28.85!
21 view cover	Morton Feldman: Piano and String Quartet (1993) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet & Aki Takahashi New York native and avant-garde composer Morton Feldman composed this work just two years before his death in 1987, and it haunts the listener into a prism of melancholy. Shifting, unsettling, and yet every bit hypnotic, pianist Aki Takahashi and the world-renowned Kronos Quartet conjure up the ghost of Feldman to wander the streets of New York as ... see all copies from $14.52! new only from $14.52!
22 view cover	25 Years: Retrospective (1998) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet The 20th century has not been kind to most standard classical music forms. The piano sonata, the concerto, the symphony -- none of them have disappeared entirely, but none remain in a state that could be called even remotely healthy. The same was true of the string quartet until 1973, when violinist David Harrington got some friends together to ... see all copies from $85.89! new only from $85.89!
23 view cover	Released: 1985-1995 (1995) more music like this by The Kronos Quartet see all copies from $17.56! new only from $17.56!
