Luciano Berio

(Italie - Italy)

Luciano Berio was born in1925. Italian composer. He was introduced to Serial music by Luigi Dallapiccola in 1952 and composed Electronic Music from 1954. His works include a series of Sequences (1957-1975), each for a different instrument; Sinfonia (1968) and Coro (1976), for orchestra and voices; and La vera storia (1982), an opera with acrobats and a wordless soprano. He wrote many works for his wife, the famous singer Catherin Berberian, including Recital I (1971) displaying the breakdown of a singer.

Berio co-founded the electronic music studio in Milan, Italy with Bruno Maderna in 1955 and has served as director of IRCAM electronic studio in Paris. His early music falls in the post-Webern camp, but during the last three decades, he has written many diverse works including compositions for tape, voice, and orchestra.

"The apparatus of sound production in his works consists of every imaginable combination and every feasible application of vocal and instrumental techniques; formal structures extend from deceptively simple Baroque arrangements to theatrical conglomerates of speech, song, spoken melody, rhythmically inflected recitation, mimodrama, choreodrama, abstract opera, concrete noises, electronic effects, aleatory passages."
