It was her older brother who introduced Anneke to some the 'heavy music' genre , and for a young Anneke, it immediately felt like home. In honor of Metallica's 40th anniversary, the talk show M asked Anneke if she would like to sing "Nothing Else Matters" with a string quartet. Ruud Peeters created a beautiful arrangement, and thus the idea for a new collaboration was born. Tonight, the songs will be performed without drums and electric guitars, but in new semi-classical arrangements for vocals, piano, and string quartet.
