The Kronos Quartet 25 Years [10 CD box set] 1998
The Kronos Quartet focuses on the more, shall we call it "post-avantgardish" composers. Thus Kronos has, in addition to playing and commissioning music by leading contemporary composers and then in particular those associated with minimalism, made forays into world- and non-western (and even pop) music.
The eighth disc is allotted to the music of Terry Riley, the intermittently pleasant, `Cadenza on the Night Plain', and `In g', the somewhat pale and inconsequential follow-up to his famous In C. Far more interesting are the excerpts from `Salome Dances for Peace'.
