Anne Sofie von Otter & Brooklyn Rider / Songs of Love and Death (2021)
Following 2016’s acclaimed album So Many Things, we are teaming up once again with the insatiably curious Anne Sofie von Otter on a new project, featuring arrangements of songs by Franz Schubert (arranged by Osvaldo Golijov) and Rufus Wainwright interspersed between movements of Schubert’s dark and dramatic Death and the Maiden string quartet.
Anne Sofie von Otter & Brooklyn Rider / So Many Things (2016)

The album, released on Naive Classique in 2016, garnered critical acclaim and culminated in worldwide touring across North America, Europe, and Asia.
