As one of the most celebrated works of the avant-garde, this new recording of Berio’s ambitious Sinfonia (1968) is very much the product of our time as it was back in the sixties when it made its appearance: it has "protest" and "social relevance" written all over the pages of its score, reflecting the collision of its materials―philosophical, literary, political, musical―in the welter of ideas that embodied the period's Zeitgeist. Being such a multi-layered collage, with eight amplified voices (originally performed by the Swingle Singers, here by the London Voices) weaving around a huge orchestra and reciting texts in multiple languages, the second movement is a tribute to Martin Luther King while the third intones the 1968 Paris uprising through the spoken quotes from Samuel Beckett's "The Unnamable". It's hard to imagine a definitive performance or recording of this curiously dense work. Yet each interpretation reveals new facets and hidden details, making Peter Eötvös's version a welcome addition to those already in the catalog from Pierre Boulez and Riccardo Chailly.

______________________

Berio's most celebrated opus can be better described as a "kitchen-sink work:" the Italian composer, in a display of exuberance and virtuosity, seems to have synthesized all of his disparate preoccupations and fascinations―Samuel Beckett, Martin Luther King, Mahler, the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss―into an intensely personal orchestral fantasia. The result, which the composer describes as "perhaps my most experimental work," is ultimately joyous. Pierre Boulez conducts.

Luciano Berio was one of the most important Italian composers of the second half of the twentieth century, a leader of the international avant-garde who has managed to write music that is communicative and pleasing to audiences. He received musical instruction from his father and grandfather, organists in Oneglia, and continued musical training through his school years. After World War II he went to Milan to study law but also became a composition pupil with Ghedini, a composer known for his interest in many styles. He passed that interest on to Berio, who started his career as a neo-Classicist.
