The classics aren\u2019t dying after all.<\/p>\n<p>2013 most especially received a rich trove of talent with promising debut albums from new composers like Caleb Burhans, engrossing cross between classical music and indie rock in David Lang&#8217;s music, and exemplary vocal prowess from outstanding singer Christian Gerhaher and the splendid Latvian Radio Choir. Of course, these are just some of the few compelling releases this year.<\/p>\n<p>To help narrow down our favorites, NPR Music lists 10 of the best classical albums of 2013.
