De staat

by Louis Andriessen, Schönberg Ensemble & Reinbert de Leeuw

De staat cover art

A seminal work of European post-minimalism originally composed in the 1970s, this recording captures Andriessen's aggressive, repetitive, and heavily dissonant setting of texts from Plato's 'The Republic'. The intense, brass-heavy orchestration serves as a direct critique of the relationship between music and politics.
