Mendelssohn: String Quartet No. 2 in A Minor, Op. 13, MWV R22 - Quatuor Èbéne (2013)
Composed when Mendelssohn was just 17 years old, this quartet is known for its emotional intensity and dramatic contrasts, with the main themes developed and transformed throughout the work, creating a cohesive musical narrative. This performance is the kind of dialog that accentuates this journey.

Chopin: Nocturnes by Arthur Rubinstein (1965)
Rubinstein's late versions of Chopin's Nocturnes are one of the most poetic and expressive ever recorded.

Hovhaness: Cello Concerto - Davies/Seattle (2004)
One of the more accessible Hovhaness pieces, this concerto is quite expressive as well as having Hovhaness's trademark mystical qualities, and the performance on this recording is deep and penetrating.

Dummy by Portishead (1994)
This album "unsettles". It tastes not like warm milk but coppery and bitter, like blood. Despite its use in soundtracking makeout sessions, it cradles a terrible loneliness in its heart. Despite its reputation as dinner-party music, it is straight-up discomfort food: curl-up-and-die music, head-under-the-covers music.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock (1973)
In 1973, Herbie Hancock, a virtuosic jazz dissident, stomped out an entire history of sound when he walked out a bass line on a modular synthesizer. For purists, it was just another heretical element on another album of heresy from yet another jazz pioneer turned iconoclast. The result was legendary and influential, a blending of traditional instruments and technology, of black American and African sound, sinking deeply into funk.

Born Sandy Devotional by The Triffids (1986)
Born Sandy Devotional is celebrated as a masterpiece that artfully captures both the beauty and despair of the human experience, positioning The Triffids as a significant band in the landscape of 1980s music. It is underrated, with an enduring relevance that continues to resonate with new audiences. The album's complexity makes it a worthwhile listen, appreciated for both its artistic merit and emotional depth.

The Camera Loves Me by Would-Be-Goods (1988)
A very listenable collection of songs in various styles overlaid with charming story-based lyrics on themes of modeling, art, and French food, sang with an irresistible English accent.

My Home Is Not In This World by Natalie Bergman (2025)
With elements of Motown, gospel, and indie-pop, this collection of songs feels both throw-back and originally modern at the same time, and create a feeling of connectedness.

Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 12 in A Major, K. 414 - Giorgini/Trondheim (2025)
An all-occasion Mozart composition that delightful, virtuosic, and short. This performance in an intimate chamber music arrangement hits the spot.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis (1959)
The best-selling jazz record of all time is a universally acknowledged masterpiece, revered as much by rock and classical music fans as by jazz lovers.
