Album · 1998 · 14 Songs. Berio: Sequenzas Ensemble InterContemporain.

The Italian composer Luciano Berio has been composing a series of Sequenzas ; compositions for solo instruments, since the mid-1950s. They are not unlike Bach’s suites for solo instruments and can be considered the progeny of that German’s instrumental creation. Berio considered these compositions his harmonic discourse with melody. These pieces are asymmetric, arrhythmic splashes of tones and smears, an embarrassment of aural richness that appears suddenly in the center and radiates outward.

Ensemble intercontemporain is a Paris-based, world-renowned ensemble of 31 full-time musicians dedicated to performing and promoting contemporary chamber music. It was founded by Pierre Boulez in 1972 for this purpose, the first permanent organization of its type in the world. Since then the Ensemble has toured extensively both in France and abroad, appearing especially at international festivals.

Pierre Boulez' Ensemble InterContemporain are the ideal exponents for this music, committed together and separately to music which makes great demands of both players and listeners. Among the many types of compositions in which Berio excelled, his solo outings, entitled Sequenzas, are perhaps his most famous. He began the composition of the Sequenzas in 1958 with Sequenza I for flute and ended with Sequenza XIV for violoncello in 2002, completed a year prior to the composer’s death at 77. Each 'Sequenza' is a virtuosic tour-de-force for its instrument-a study in the different ways of producing sounds with the instrument, and in the slight differences in pitch when a single note is produced with several different fingerings
