Stranger is the world-premiere recording of Nico Muhly's song cycle commissioned by Grammy-nominated tenor Nicholas Phan. It compliments Nico's other works for tenor - Lorne Ys My Liking, and Impossible Things with a roll call of collaborators: string quartet Brooklyn Rider, countertenor Reginald Mobley, pianist Lisa Kaplan, and Brooklyn-based orchestral collective The Knights led by brothers Colin and Eric Jacobsen.
