#Berio100
Marking both #WorldOperaDay and Berio's 100th birthday (yesterday), "Un re in ascolto," from the 1984 world premiere at the Salzburg Festival. Lorin Maazel conducts the Vienna Philharmonic, with Theo Adam, Heinz Zednik, and Karan Armstrong. Stage direction by Götz Friedrich
#Berio100
Designed by John Berg, the cover of the 1968 recording of Luciano Berio's Sinfonia with the Swingle Singers and the New York Philharmonic. On a black-and-white mirrored surface are transparent cubes, with photographs of Martin Luther King, Jr., Berio, Leonard Bernstein, and others
At age 14, I stumbled across this LP and bought it — partially for the Swingle Singers and the New York Philharmonic, but mostly for John Berg's striking cover art. "Sinfonia" totally altered my teenage brain, and ultimately was the rudder that steered me into contemporary music

2025 marks 100 years since the birth of Luciano Berio! #berio100 We are so lucky he finished the cello Sequenza in 2002, the year before he died 🖤
