Short intro

Floodplain is a studio album by the Kronos Quartet released in 2009. All twelve compositions were written or arranged for the quartet. The Kronos Quartet have a long record of commissioning compositions and of collaborating with musicians from around the world. The compositions for this album, all written or arranged for the quartet, hail from cultures based in areas surrounded by water and prone to catastrophic flooding. The Kronos Quartet continues to broaden the repertoire for string quartet beyond the Western European tradition with Floodplain, an album of music all written or arranged for the ensemble. This album moves the ensemble even further afield from the conventional quartet the players frequently double on folk instruments, and in one of the pieces they don't use their own instruments at all, but newly invented ones, created especially for this album. Kronos Quartet. World 2009. On Floodplain, the group performs arrangements of pieces from the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Or consider a donation More Albums. View All.

Recent Kronos albums have been exemplary reminders that classical music is world music, too, and vice versa. And that traditional music has a vital place in the contemporary repertoire. This generous, 12-track album is based around the concept that the world's great floodplains, such as those of the Nile, Ganges and Volga, are the cradles of humankind, and sublime sources of sustenance and fear.
