Kathy’s 20 Favorite CDs of 2008: This is my list of favorite CDs that I reviewed in the past year. A few of these were released in earlier years, but I reviewed them in ’08. Several more CDs were very close to making the list, but I had to cut it off somewhere! A lot of reviewers rank their favorites, but I just can’t. The music I like best can and does vary by the day, so I will list these in alphabetical order by album title. The links in the titles will take you to my reviews of these albums. Congratulations and thanks to these artists for making 2008 the best year for instrumental music that I can remember!
