	Cathy Berberian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cathy Berberian (Attleboro, Massachusetts, July 4, 1928 - 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.
		She is a trivial pursuit question for classic rock fan baby boomers: who is Cathy Berberian in the Steely Dan song "Your Gold Teeth" from the 1973 album Countdown to Ecstacy: "Even Cathy Berberian knows/There's one roulade she can't sing."

	Meirion Bowen - Articles
		Cathy Berberian came into her own as an artist when she began to develop her vocal skills in close harness with her dramatic flair.
		Cathy was astonished at the extent to which the English audience responded to the subtleties of her presentation.
		It is hardly surprising to find Cathy Berberian carrying her interest in speech inflexions and language and the fullest extension of dramatic vocal technique into composition itself.

	Cathy Berberian: Revolution - More Comments
		Cathy Berberian is great singer, and her interpretation of the Beatles songs is smooth, fresh and sensible.
		Berberian's joke, not ours, and it is addressed, I believe, to the pretentiousness (and monotony)that had come rather pervasively to plague the singing of both serious and popular music by the beginning of the 1970s, the unrecognized shadow of the Beatles' musical "revolution" which even today just about no one has begun to examine.
		Cathy berberian's folk songs are absolutley beautiful and she is a highly influential vocal inovator, though i guess that would be hard to tell from THAT soundclip.

	Cathy Berberian: Pioneer of Contemporary Vocality and Performance - ASCA - Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Berberian was an extraordinary vocal performance artist, a cant’actrice, who broke with musical conventions and found ‘unheard’ ways to bring the voice to meaningful expression.
		Cathy Berberian did not accept the traditional opposition between ‘high’ and ‘low’ music and looked for cross-overs with pop culture and folk music.
		Further, the awarded documentary of Cathy Berberian ‘Muziek is mijn adem’ (1994) by Carrie de Swaan will be shown, as well as unpublished archive materials of various performances.

	Bosma: Female Authorial Voices In Electrovocal Music
		It is the voice of Cathy Berberian, the great vocal artist who with her extraordinary vocal abilities and creativity co-produced many vocal compostions of Berio and other composers.
		Berberian's sighing, crying, laughing, moaning, groaning and stammering, and her many other impressive non-verbal voice sounds, are the most striking features of Visage.
		Indeed, although most of the pieces on this CD mainly consist of Berberian's voice, her name is not on the cover; only the names of composers Berio and Maderna.

		At times, she attempts to narrate a story, or describe some disaster that has befallen her, but the language she has been given is not one known to man, although its inflections may fool one into thinking otherwise.
		Berberian has to contend with an array of electronic sounds, and most of them are not particularly friendly.
		Berio is an imp of provocation, and Berberian can do anything with her remarkable voice and histrionic talents.

		That would be the compositions by John Cage and Sylvano Bussotti as well as Berberian's own infamous "Stripsody." It is in these three pieces that this album serves up the filet mignon, although the Debussy songs and a Kurt Weill piece are quite nice.
		A shame that, once again in an attempt to keep the attention of the lame members of the audience, she has to throw in George Gershwin in the form of a hideous excerpt from Porgy and Bess and even a Beatles number.
		Berberian's Beatles could be played side by side with the Kronos Quartet's run-through of "Spoonful" to see which is more ghastly, if anyone is interested.

	Cathy Berberian - A musical Columbus. On what would have been Cathy Berberian's 80th birthday, Jennifer Paull explores ...
		Cathy was as much responsible for Berio's works written specifically for her own capacities and intelligence, as those generated by his exposure to her having introduced him to such amazing ingredients and possibilities.
		The experimental use of her vocal technique at the Studio di fonologia musicale in Milan was strenuous, often totally incognito and non-remunerated.
		Reinforced musique concrète was held together by 'Cathy cement' and nerves of steel upon innumerable, unacknowledged occasions.

		And Cathy performed a number of his works also, although unfortunately at the start of the tour she lost her voice.

		Berio accompanied her on a tape she was making to apply for a scholarship, and they quickly realized that they were meant to be partners in nonmusical matters as well; they married within months.
		Berberian was an astonishingly versatile, virtuosic, and essentially unclassifiable singer.
		After Berberian's death in Rome on March 6, 1983, Berio was moved to write Requies (Latin: "May you rest").

	Boosey & Hawkes Teaching Music to everyone
		When I studied composition with Luciano Berio in the early sixties in Milan, I also rehearsed and performed concerts and radio recordings with Cathy Berberian, who was at that time married to Berio.
		Cristina, for whom I had already written several other pieces, is the first singer I've met since Cathy Berberian who has the same musicality and flexibility, and who is able to cross over the borders of different singing styles.
		I chose the letter in which Cathy tells about her meeting with Stravinsky (who speaks French in this letter) where he decided to make a version for her of "Elegy for J.F. Kennedy".

		We were seated in a large, impersonal hotel dining room when suddenly, the door opened and in walked Cathy.

		Cathy Berberian, singer and wife of Luciano Berio, was one of music's true originals.
		Equally adept at Monteverdi and the wildest effusions of the avant-garde, her performances brought her husband's music to new and appreciative audiences, while permitting Berio to create some of his most gripping work at the same time.
		Folk Songs is exactly what the title says--a collection of folk songs from around the world which gives Berberian the opportunity to demonstrate her ability to sing in different languages and styles.
