Short Stories
Kronos Quartet
“A fine mesh of brains and guts, Short Stories is an eclectic roller-coaster ride through 20th-century music.”
About the album
Gathering pieces from Lower East Siders Elliot Sharp and John Zorn, Russia’s Sofia Gubaidulina, Pakistani singer Pandit Pran Nath, and Chicago bluesman Willie Dixon, among others, “this bracing collection of short, disparate pieces admirably depicts the Kronos Quartet’s vast range” (The New York Times).
