Anna

Anna Depenbusch is a German singer and musician. Prior to her solo career, she was a background singer for a group called Orange Blue. In 2005, she released her first album that united elements of Pop, Jazz and Chanson. Fans of German pop-chansons should have been familiar with the Hamburg singer-songwriter Anna Depenbusch for some time. With her soulful and lyrically extremely high-quality songs, the 40-year-old has long since made a name and earned a large following. On her newest album she presents the songs of her previous release "The Alphabet of Anna Depenbusch" again in a reduced and puristic form, as a solo on the piano.

This remarkable vocal album, which won the prestigious Amadeus Music Award in 2003, features soprano Anna Netrbko in stunning renditions of works by Puccini, Berlioz, Mozart, Bellini, and Dvorák among others. A multiple Grammy-nominee and the first opera singer ever to be named to the TIME 100 list (Time magazine’s list of the most influential people in the world), Netrebko takes on these masterworks with startling vivacity and vocal virtuosity.
