CD Description
Paul Hillier leads Theatre of Voices in a fascinating programme centred on Luciano Berio: Although not all these composers actually knew each other, I think of them as a group of mutual friends with shared interests and predilections. If there is a link between them it is perhaps the influence of John Cage, though it could almost equally have been the personality of Cathy Berberian. I ve had the privilege of meeting them all except Berio. The largest work is Berio s A-Ronne, which is for me an iconic example of the representative madrigal in modern dress. Mostly the pieces appear to tell a story or stories but avoid getting to the point. Two of them advance in straight lines by following the alphabet (A-Ronne, Stripsody), while others go round in circles, around and around. Paul Hillier
