Konstantia GourziAbout
The composer and conductor Konstantia Gourzi worked with the jazz pianist Maria Baptist to create improvisations based on Schönberg's characteristic sounds. This results in an entirely new listening experience.
Berio’s Folk Songs is a short anthology of melodies from various sources (sheet music, records, oral recollection) from various epochs and countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, France, North Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, and United States), selected, harmonized and arranged by Berio. Sometimes the instrumental setting reinforces typical traits of the cultural frame from which the songs originate, other times these traits are disguised or sublimated. Berio himself writes that “these arrangements are my contribution to the prevention of folk song performances with piano accompaniment and, of course, constitute also a little homage to the artistry of Cathy Berberian”.
