Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider, whose new album, Forward Into Light, was released in February, stopped by for the Nonesuch Selects video series, in which artists visit the Nonesuch office, pick some of their favorite albums from the music library, and share a few words on their choices. She chose recordings by Henryk Górecki, Steve Reich, Wilco, Laurie Anderson, Iva Bittová, Ingram Marshall, and Kronos Quartet.
