Speaking of Anneke van Giersbergen


A previous post by black symphony touched upon a charismatic vocalist: it is no secret that Anneke van Giersbergen is one of the greatest singers of our time. Having fronted The Gathering  for 13 years, Anneke continued as a solo artist with her band Agua de Annique in 2007. She has also been involved in numerous collaborations, most recently with Danny Cavanagh. I must admit I often find it difficult to write about her because all adjectives and phrases that are appropriate may seem exaggerated to anyone who hasn't heard her sing.  So why don't we first do just that, hear her sing...

Anneke rocks!!!! She is charismatic indeed. She has the voice of an angel. Both in The Gathering and in Agua De Annique she has revealed her enormous talent. She is my favourite Dutch. Long live Anneke!!!!

Yes, I agree and this is the kind of warm response Anneke gets from us all - and it is so well deserved!!! : )
