Annas Sang (CD)

I 2022 udkom den største debutsucces i nyere dansk litteraturhistorie, da Benjamin Koppel udgav romanen Annas Sang. Det er en slægtsroman, inspireret af hans farfar Herman D. Koppels familie, med udgangspunkt i lillesøsteren Annas historie. Romanen har solgt mere end 150.000 eksemplarer og er foruden oversættelser solgt til både filmatisering og teaterproduktion. Benjamin Koppel komponerede forud for bogen ti sange om sin grandtante Anna, og fik Cæcilie Norby til at skrive sangteksterne, baseret på Benjamins fortællinger om den rigtige Annas historie. I første omgang udkom disse sange på engelsk på albummet Anna*s Dollhouse, indspillet med amerikanske stjernemusikere. I juni 2024 blev sangene oversat til dansk og indspillet med sangerinde Frederikke Vedel, Benjamin Koppel Quartet og Aalborg symfoniorkester.
