Classical

A selection of international classical music—old and new—curated by Devon Turnbull, based on music he is inspired by and listening to currently. Some of these selections are recordings that Turnbull references for high dynamic range or natural, realistic sounding instrumentation. Highlights include two contemporary compositions by frequent collaborator Michael A. Muller of the American minimalist instrumental duo Balmorhea, as well as 17 other instrumental tracks.
