In the German soprano and percussionist Ursula Anders, the pianist Friedrich Gulda found an artistic partner whose commitment to breaking taboos matched his own. And in Gulda, Anders found a creative collaborator who understood her on levels that went far beyond the merely musical. Opus Anders was created by Gulda in 1980 as a celebration of Anders's artistry. It's simultaneously a recital, and a piece of fearlessly transgressive performance art: an unsparing double-portrait in which Gulda and Anders strip themselves naked – literally, as well as figuratively – in pursuit of musical and emotional truth. Uncompromising, bold, and wholly inimitable. This performance contains nudity.
