Berio, Luciano (1925-2003)

Description:

Berio's "Schumann" in the first complete box! Luciano Berio (1925-2003)'s "Chemin", the first complete box! The "chemin" (French plural for "road") is an arrangement of the instrumental piece "Sequenzia" written for various instruments, which Berio himself expanded to include orchestral and chamber orchestras. The soloists are first-rate players, including Andreas Miltner on harp and Christophe Desjardins on viola. The WDR Symphony Orchestra is conducted by a stellar lineup of conductors including Peter Eötvös, Emilio Pomarico, and Mariano Chiacciarini. The 64-page booklet (in English and German) includes commentary by musicologist Martina Sieber and interviews with the soloists, and is accompanied by photographs and autographs of the composers and performers.
