Cathy Pageu

Cathy Berberian (Attleboro, Massachusetts, July 4 1925 - Rome, Italy, March 6 1983) was a composer, mezzo-soprano singer, and vocalist. From 1950 to 1966 she was married to Composer Luciano Berio, who deconstructed her voice in Thema (Omaggio a Joyce) (1958) and wrote his Circles (1960) and Recital I (for Cathy) (1972) for her. In addition, she worked in close collaboration with Sylvano Bussotti, John Cage, Hans Werner Henze and Igor Stravinsky.

"A volume of recipes to help Cathy's female fans cope with real-life maddening males" from the Emmy Award-winning cartoonist (Booklist).

Sandford's passionate tale of one family's relentless fall into poverty and homelessness - directed by Loach with characteristic vigour - was a watershed in British TV drama. Only a few moments in television's history can match the emotional charge of Cathy Come Home's heartrending climax, in which Social Services officials separate a hysterical Cathy from her children. Hugely influential in its day - its broadcast gave a major boost to the launch of the homelessness charity Shelter a few days later.

„In this new album, Cathy Krier takes an original step and goes entirely against the grain of her previous programmatic approach. In her two most recent CDs she had juxtaposed the apparently divergent styles of Rameau and Ligeti, or Liszt vs. Berg/Schoenberg, uncovering astounding new connections among them. The current release now takes the opposite path. At first glance, Claude Debussy – the inventor of musical Impressionism – and Karol Szymanowski – often called the ‘Polish Impressionist’ – would seem to have much in common.
