Chris Thile updates his song "Thank You, New York," featuring Gaby Moreno, for 2020. The original version was featured on Thile's 2017 album, Thanks for Listening. "Right now, with how easy it is to be the talker on social media, how hard it is to maintain focus or give something enough attention to appreciate it, we're in a place where listening is a precious commodity," Thile said. The songs are "a celebration of people who haven't switched off, despite being given every reason to do so."

News & Reviews

  • Chris Thile's Bach: Sonatas and Partitas, Vol. 2—on which he performs Bach's Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004; Sonata No. 3 in C major, BWV 1005; and Partita No. 3 in E major, BWV 1006—is out now. For his second recording of Bach Violin Sonatas and Partitas, 12 years after the first volume, the mandolin virtuoso opted for a more personal approach, allowing himself to take liberties with the scores, which he recorded in multiple, somewhat untraditional, locations of personal significance. Nonesuch Store orders include an autographed print while they last. Thile kicks off his European tour tonight and resumes his US tour in January.

  • "Today I'm talking with one of the most creative musicians of our time," Rick Beato says of his guest Chris Thile. "What's most remarkable about Chris is how far he's pushed the mandolin beyond its roots, exploring everything from jazz to classical and beyond—literally redefining what's possible on the instrument."
