Luciano Berio – Azerbaijan Love Song
Biography
(1925 – 2003)
He was born in Oneglia (now Borgo d’Oneglia, a small village 3 km N of Imperia) and he was taught the piano by his father and grandfather, who were both organists. During World War II he was conscripted into the army, but on his first day he injured his hand while learning how a gun worked. He spent time in a military hospital, before fleeing to fight in anti-Nazi groups.
Following the war, Berio studied at the Milan Conservatory under Giulio Cesare Paribeni and Giorgio Federico Ghedini. He was unable to continue studying the piano because of his injured hand, so instead concentrated on composition. In 1947 came the first public performance of one of his works, a suite for piano.
Berio made a living at this time accompanying singing classes, and it was in doing this that he met American mezzo-soprano Cathy Berberian, whom he married shortly after graduating (they divorced in 1964). Berio would write many pieces exploiting her versatile and unique voice.
In 1951, Berio went to the United States to study with Luigi Dallapiccola at Tanglewood, from whom he gained an interest in serialism. He later attended the Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik at Darmstadt, meeting Pierre Boulez, Karlheinz Stockhausen, György Ligeti and Mauricio Kagel there.

Sequenza fur viola stand upp

When Stuart Dempster shouts "WHY?" during his playing of the sequenza for trombone that pretty accurately sums up what playing any of them is like.

I've listened "Sequenza Ixb" for alto sax and it is very hard to play this with your sax

Have to say, I find his Folk Songs more interesting and appealing than his vocal works.

He does have some odd pieces like that, yes. Rendering is another one. You kind of wonder why he didn't do more with his source material.

I listened to Sequenzas. Then I listened to Folk Songs. Is this actually the same guy?

The Sequenzas are almost the definitive 20th century work. Way to go on picking a great title to stand time, Berio.

I wanted to check this guy out but the use of quotations can't make me but ignore his works.
