Krakauer partnered with the Kronos Quartet for the premiere recording of Osvaldo Golijov's "The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind", released in 1997 on Nonesuch Records. Though the original composition was created for clarinet with string quartet, Golijov created an orchestral arrangement for the conductor-less chamber orchestra A Far Cry. The premiere orchestral recording was created with Krakauer as featured soloist and included on A Far Cry's 2014 album "Dreams &amp; Prayers", which was nominated in the Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance category of the 57th Grammy Awards.
