Caroline Shaw is great. This is the most calming thing I have from my "most played of 2021" list, so this gets the nod.

Loading... Aizuri Quartet – Sophia’s Wide Awake Dreams
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twX3dU5iaqw
I'm still spending a lot of time listening to this album.
This piece is from an opera by Lembit Beecher, "Sophia's Forest", and this two part suite is the inner world of the narrator, an immigrant child fleeing a civil war. There are nine "sound sculptures" that are electronically manipulated in addition to the four string players.
I like this (and most everything else on the album) because it is certainly modern and not just straightforward string quartet music, but there is a lyricism and a theme that comes through without difficulty.
Plus, I figured just playing The Beths would be too easy.

Loading... Julia Holter – Four Gardens
With her stellar combo (cello, violin, horn and drums) in London, 2013. My favorite new artist. She's definitely not easy listening, but if you have an adventurous ear-you just might fall for her experimental mix of dream pop, classical and free jazz. I sure did. Call it space age chamber music.
