Best 100 postclassical releases

Postclassical music is a term used to describe contemporary classical music that draws on diverse musical styles and techniques, and often incorporates elements from popular music, world music, and electronic music. This genre emerged in the late 20th century as a reaction against the rigid stylistic constraints of modernism and seeks to explore new sounds, textures, and forms. Postclassical music can be experimental, genre-bending, and challenging to define, and includes works by composers such as John Adams, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt, and Michael Nyman, among others.
