Louis Andriessen
De Staat Digital MP3 Album
$9.00
With its multi-layered structures, highly dramatic forms, and sheer volume, De Staat (text from Plato’s The Republic) suggests the bright, clangorous Balinese gamelan and the polyphonies of Stravinsky’s Les Noces. Andriessen considers this loud and aggressive work, dubbed ""a Minimalist classic"" by the New York Times, his “essay” on the concept of music, democracy and the state.
