		Berio's recent description of Sanguineti's poetry might well be applied to his own music, for it too is 'replete with images of today, of stereotyped sentiments, with harsh and bitter shapes, ironic invention, parody and quotations that...
		Berio's prolific (and ever prolife-rating) musical output, and his ability to communicate with the listener at many different levels, stemmed from Sanguineti as a 'polyphonic' conception of language and a multi-layered, open conception of form.

	[sc-users] OT Luciano Berio dies at 77
		Berio was using his own music in the ways he often used others' music, as material to be analyzed, explored, imitated and developed.
		Berio's first composition for the theater, "Passaggio," had its premiere at the Piccola Scala in Milan in 1963 and was a provocative expression of its sole female character's subjection to social pressures.
		Berio's continuing ability to find new ways for the orchestra to speak, vividly and beautifully, while solo instruments went on having their say as he extended the "Sequenza" series.

	Telegraph \| News \| Luciano Berio
		Luciano Berio, who died yesterday aged 77, was regarded by many connoisseurs of contemporary music as the most naturally musical and least doctrinaire of the post-1945 avant-garde composers.
		Luciano Berio was born in Oneglia, Liguria, on October 10 1925.
		Berio was by then working on his most important operatic project, Un re in ascolto, also to a Calvino libretto with additions from Auden and by Berio.

		Berio was born in Oneglia, in the remote Italian province of Liguria, and, in his teens, followed in the footsteps of his grandfather Adolfo and father Ernesto Berio, both leading figures in the musical life of the town, which Berio remembered as being hardly changed since Verdi's day.
		The pieces are a testament to what Berio described as the slow, majestic evolution of instruments across the ages, an evolution for which he had the profoundest respect.
		Berio's operas were a source of exasperation to British critics, one of whom asked, "Why can Berio never actually state anything?" But the difficulty of plain statement, and the fragmented sense of self of which that is a symptom, are, after all, the main burdens of modernism.

	Greg Sandow -- Luciano Berio at Carnegie Hall
		Berio has the traditional Italian gift for melody, and this opening duet was simply irresistible, though of course the melodies were freely sculpted, hardly traditional either in their harmony or in their elusive rhythm.
		Berio's bad conducting is notorious; why does he persist?) "Ofanim" -- impressively scored for double boys' choir, two groups of instrumentalists, and a female vocal soloist who rose like a ghost from the shadows of her crumpled robes -- digs very deep.
		Berio, now 72, is no longer in the avant-garde; for current relevance (even though "Alternatim" and "Ofanim" were both premiered this year), he's been superseded by a range of simpler, more direct and more colloquial composers.

	Universal Edition Music Publisher - Luciano Berio - Biography
		Berio was constantly engaged in an intense dialogue with tradition.
		Berio’s love of language, of communication and puzzles, naturally also pushed him towards the theatre, where he assumed a sovereign position in the middle — in the best sense of the word — where opera was to a large extent transformed into experimental music theatre: into a quasi-three-dimensional labyrinth of language, music and imagery.
		Berio’s greatness consisted not least in his quest for reconciliation between the utopian future and the forces of tradition from which he still profited — thereby insisting on the unresolved, irresolvable tension between yesterday and tomorrow.

		Berio said he was approached last fall by Elizabeth Gentry Sayad, the organization's chairman, and asked to produce a ''short, festive'' piece for the events at the train station.
		Berio's approach to 12-tone writing was never as rigorous as Stockhausen's, however, and in many of his works from the late 1950s the ''rules'' of serialism are discarded in favor of lyrical gestures.
		Berio's only full-length opera, a work from 1970 titled ''Opera,'' is in effect an olio show of assorted vernacular and ''high art'' theatrical styles fitted around a destruction-of-mankind allegory.

	Luciano Berio - CompositionToday.com
		Luciano Berio's work is characterised above all by his love of the theatrical, his fascination with the voice, and his constant willingness to engage with music of the past as well as of the present.
		The first of these works, baldly entitled Opera (1970), is one of Berio's less successful achievements, but in his three subsequent operas, La vera storia (1981), Un re in ascolto (1984) and Cronaca del Luogo (1999), Berio has achieved a remarkable synthesis of extended theatrical techniques and large-scale musical means.
		Berio's constant dialogue with musical tradition can also be seen in his various orchestrations of works by de Falla, Mahler and Brahms, among others, and, most notably, in Rendering (1989), his typically creative completion of unfinished symphonic sketches by Schubert.

		To a composer with roots as deep in the achievements of the past four centuries as Berio, this was never an option.
		Although Berio drew admiration in the late fifties as an exuberant explorer of electronic resources, his vivid empathy for the risks and rewards of live performance tended to gain the upper hand over any disembodied search for “new sounds”.
		However fragile and temporary the community created in the concert-hall by a brilliant performance, it is one that Berio served with singular fixity of purpose.
