Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Italian composer Berio is a wizard of language, form, and genre; so this disc, presenting vocal works ranging from folksong arrangements to avant-garde settings of E.E. Cummings, is an excellent rendering of the artist. Berio loves literature, and some of his favorite writers--cummings and James Joyce--make appearances here. It's like reading a gifted writer's personal sketchbook. Christine Schadeberg sings with the Musicians' Accord in fine performances. --Joshua Cody
