Berio: Sinfonia - 3rd Mvmt Part I - Rattle/CBSO

Back


As a counterpoint to the Mahler 2nd uploaded, here are the same forces in the early 80s peforming the famous 3rd mvmt of Luciano Berio's Sinfonia. This movement is a parody of the Scherzo of Mahler's 'Resurrection' Symphony, in the composer's words, creating "the image of that of a river running through a constantly changing landscape, disappearing from time to time underground, only to emerge later totally transformed." Under a collage of spoken and sung text fragments by Samuel Beckett, Berio incorporates 20th century musical quotations from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Debussy's La Mer, Ravel, Schoenberg, Berg and even himself.
