Product description

Dive into the captivating world of Louis Andriessen's "Anaïs Nin | De Staat," a compelling blend of minimalism, avant-garde, and opera that pushes the boundaries of traditional music. Released in 2011 under Signum Records, this album is a live recording from a concert at Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall, capturing the raw energy and precision of the performance.

The album is divided into two distinct parts: "Anaïs Nin" and "De Staat." The first part is a monodrama that delves into the complex life and relationships of the renowned author Anaïs Nin. Sung and spoken in English, French, and Greek by the extraordinary soprano Cristina Zavalloni, this section explores themes of incest and personal struggle through Andriessen's intricate and evocative compositions. The second part, "De Staat," features choral works that tackle political themes, showcasing the powerful vocals of Han Buhrs and the Synergy Vocals ensemble.

With a duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes, "Anaïs Nin | De Staat" is a testament to Andriessen's ability to blend narrative and music seamlessly. The London Sinfonietta, conducted by David Atherton, delivers a stunning performance that highlights the depth and complexity of Andriessen's work. Whether you're a fan of avant-garde music or simply looking to explore something new, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
