To celebrate the centenary of his birth, Kate Molleson explores
the life and music of one of most influential figures in all of
modern music – Luciano Berio. Berio’s music is lyrical and
expressive, while never ignoring the most advanced techniques and
technologies of his time. He worked with many key figures in 20th
Century music while always following his own, very individual
path, both through life and in his music, where he constantly
pushed at and broke the boundaries he encountered. Music
