Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Luciano Berio has always looked at his Sequenzas as building blocks among his other compositions. These solo works, sometimes written for specific performers, exist as elements of other, larger works or as platforms upon which he's built extensive structures. This three-CD set is the first to collect all Berio's Sequenzas, and the performances are peerless. Berio's writing is, of course, unconventional, feeding off serialism and making complexity sound friendly. Sophie Cherrer's leaping flute on Sequenza I (1958) finds dozens of ways not to shriek, as does Gabrielle Cassone's Sequenza X for trumpet. There are two world-premiere recordings: Pascal Gallois's Sequenza XII for bassoon and Teodoro Anzellotti's Sequenza XIII for accordion (both 1995). Here Anzellotti conjures his playful 1998 recording, Satie on Accordion. Berio envisions these works as suggestive of polyphony in their architecture and impact, which is to say that the aggressive juxtapositions within a solo work fool the ear into believing that the soloist is a small ensemble. The melodies get multiplied, from initial statements into transfigurations and harmonic variations, making the pieces at once tremendously complex and demanding but also totally inviting. The constancy of these 13 works is evidenced by two of the harmonically richest performances, Benny Sluchin's Sequenza V for trombone (1965, originally composed for Stuart Dempster) and Eliot Fisk's Sequenza XI for guitar (1987-88). The dialogue between density and pinpoint nodes remains a thematic constant, rendered almost in parallel on the various instruments. This is a dynamic, vital document of 20th-century music, one that shouldn't be missed. --Andrew Bartlett

5.0 out of 5 stars Expand your musical horizons, 18 Nov 2003
By G. Camara (Sao Jose dos Campos, SP Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The set of Sequenzas (works for solo instruments or voice) spans throught Berio's creative carrer, for the early Sequenza for Solo Flute to late works such as the Sequenza for Accordion. Every work is a stunning demonstration of creativity and considerably expands the frontiers of what can be called "music". Particularly to be savoured are the sequenzas for solo voice, trombone and violin. At each inception, Berio brings his extremely refined musical thinking, a creative blend from Monteverdi to Maderna. Anyone that would like to grasp the best on contemporary music would do well to start here, and will be pleasantly surprised by an enormous outpouring of creativity. As the critic on UK's Gramophone magazine said, "Listen, and be astonished".
