 Few Twentieth Century creators have been as inventive as Berio in their relationship with popular and ancestral traditions - drawing material as he did from the hits by The Beatles and the soundscapes of urban streets and markets.
 Here Geoffroy Jourdain paints the portrait of an explorer with a passion for the human voice. Truculent and volcanic in Sequenza III (performed with panache by French mezzo-soprano Lucile Richardot), lyrical and caressing in E si fussi pisci, solemn and spellbinding in Cries of London.
 ‘Berio To Sing’ throws open the doors to a colourful universe, extravagantly playful and exhilarating.
