Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop & Anika

Nico is one of the most enigmatic figures in pop history. She was once described as the “Sphinx of Ice.” Her wistful songs are still fascinating 35 years after her death. Now, singer Annika Henderson, who performs under the name Anika, has re-recorded Nico’s album Desertshore, together with the soloist ensemble Kaleidoskop. The spartan accompanying music was transcribed for a string ensemble. Everything seems more open, lighter, more spiritual this way, but no less profound: in this new interpretation, it is as if we delved deep into Nico’s unconscious.
