		Michael on the other hand does not profess to be confident at the keyboard and as of 2004 had only contributed two works to the solo piano repertoire in contrast to a substantial quantity of piano music by his father.
		Michael Berkeley is clearly not as natural as his father in the fluency of his writing for the piano.
		For Michael Berkeley at his best, I would suggest that the larger-scale orchestral works and concertos are not only more representative of his latter stylistic idiom but also effectively demonstrate his ability to develop and control substantial formal structures.

	ODE TO BERKELEY / Capturing rapture in a community that embraces highbrows and the homeless
		Berkeley's streets, though a rational 19th century grid underlies them, are a speed-busting tangle of artificial dead ends, obligatory left turns, and deliberately tortuous obstacle-course barriers known as chicanes, put in place to protect children - - who are never (God forbid!) sent to play outside.
		One of the remarkable things about Berkeley is that, in spite of its decided inferiority to its great neighbor across the Bay in clout, preeminence, population, notoriety and fame, it has never seemed to dwell in San Francisco's shadow (unlike poor old Oakland down the road).
		Berkeley is richer than any place I've ever lived in these non-alcoholic taverns of the soul, these unofficial clubhouses of the oddball and outré.

	SoundStage! Lenox Berkeley: Symphony No. 4, Michael Berkeley: The Garden of Earthly Delights, Cello Concerto
		The music of Englishman Lenox Berkeley (1903-1989) is scarcely known in this country, especially now that the Lyrita label is gone and EMI releases most of its British music titles to the United States as imports.
		Berkeley’s son, Michael (b.1948) has just become composer in residence for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, which has made a huge commitment to contemporary music since taking on Richard Hickox as its music director.
		Berkeley’s dramatic music is scored for a huge orchestra, which includes exotic percussion: claves, and a "lion’s roar," a sound produced by the friction of a cord within a resonant drum.

		Luckily for the listener, though, Berkeley is unable to resist the odd illustrative detail: a football rattle recreates a Machiavellian ratchet; the image of a creature being tortured on a harp is taken somewhat literally.
		Michael Berkeley’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, another commission for the Proms, is his response to Hieronymus Bosch’s famous triptych of carnal excess: rather a good choice, since it licenses post-romantic sensuality and modernist disgust all in one.
		Berkeley doesn’t shy away from ghoulish onomatopoeic effects in the percussion - the thunder sheet and lion’s roar make stomach-churning appearances - and the three soloists he places in box seats around the arena are nothing if not effective (I had a large gong six feet from my left ear).

		Michael Bublé's introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson's ears with the sounds of the Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others.
		As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, Michael Buble began to realize that Michael Buble wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what Michael Buble wanted to perform.
		Michael Buble finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It's Time was a numer one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US.

		Up until 1982 he was writing in a broadly tonal idiom and the climax of this period was the oratorio "Or shall we die?" to a text by Ian McEwan.
		Since then Michael Berkeley's music has gradually undergone a very considerable change, and in pieces like Songs of Awakening Love (premiered at the 1986 Cheltenham Festival), his language has become more distinctive, with the emotional quality of the early pieces integrated into a tauter musical idiom.
		Michael Berkeley's first BBC Proms commission, The Garden of Earthly Delights was premiered by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in August 1998, with a live relay on BBC Radio 3 and BBC2 Television.
