condition (record/sleeve): VG (record looks near mint but has surface noise throughout) / VG (general yellowing + creases on lamination partly peeling off) Includes 4-page LP-size insert. Essential Berio! This exceptional Wergo release features Cathy Berberian in a virtuosic performance of Circles (1960), Berio's mesmerizing setting of e.e. cummings poetry for female voice, harp, and two percussionists. The album also includes three of Berio's celebrated Sequenze – solo works that pushed instrumental technique to radical new limits. Sequenza I for flute, Sequenza III for voice (again featuring the incomparable Berberian), and Sequenza V for trombone, performed here by the legendary Vinko Globokar, represent landmarks of post-war avant-garde composition.
