Props today for Italian composer Luciano Berio who passed away a decade ago, the modern maestro who penned masterpieces that ranged from the spare, austere Folk Songs (we like Chailly's with the Royal Concertgebouw) to the Sinfonia (above), an enormously scaled, wondrously varied, Resurrection Symphony-lite with shadows of a latent electropop fetish unearthed in Milan.
The highly influential composer who studied under Dallapiccola and Bruno Maderna attracted like-minded luminaries such as former students Luca Francesoni and Steve Reich and the progressive maestri who've extolled his intriguingly-textured compositions -- Boulez, Chailly, Esa-Pekka -- in continuation of his legacy.
