This first portrait album devoted to Annelies Van Parys reveals a distinctive voice in contemporary European music. Drawing on spectralism, she builds luminous orchestral textures that unite timbral exploration with clear musical architecture and strong dramaturgy. Conductor Marit Strindlund notes: “I find Van Parys to be one of the most interesting contemporary European composers… a uniquely individual artistic voice is always shining through her music.”
