condition (record/cover): EX/VG+ (minimal ring wear on back + sticker on front). Berio conducting Berio – with Cathy Berberian! A definitive recording of two essential vocal works by the composer himself. Epifanie (1961-63) is a complex, multi-layered masterpiece for soprano and orchestra, weaving together texts by Proust, Joyce, Machado, Brecht, and Sanguineti in a kaleidoscopic meditation on memory and meaning. Folk Songs (1964) shows Berio's genius for transformation – eleven traditional songs from around the world, reimagined with extraordinary instrumental colors and sensitivity. Berberian's incomparable voice brings both passion and precision to these demanding works.
