My Favorite Records: Mark Morris

Last month, Björk inaugurated a My Favorite Records feature on the blog. This month's list is by the choreographer, dancer, and director Mark Morris, one of the most purely musical people alive. He writes: "Not the same list as Greatest Music of All Time, or What's on My iPod, or Listen to This Because It's Good For You. These are all thrillers that I keep returning to."
