蜜芽传媒

Kate Molleson and Gillian Moore present 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3's series exploring the pivotal 'modern' musical works of the 20th century, the groundbreaking composers who created them, and the radical cultural and artistic movements which gave rise to them. In this episode, Gillian celebrates the life and music of Luciano Berio, a century on from the composer's birth on October 24th, 1925, in Liguria, Italy. At the heart of the programme is the chance to hear a full performance of A-Ronne, described as a 鈥渞adiophonic documentary鈥� and here realised by Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart with Peter Rundel at the helm. Along the way, we鈥檒l encounter an American singer giving voice to her internal world, learn how Berio鈥檚 work in Paris had an important impact on '80s pop music, hear the work his key collaborator Bruno Maderna wrote to launch a satellite, and appreciate the overwhelming influence that Berio's first wife, Cathy Berberian, had on his music.
