- Welp, never expected that Berio will compose something so traditional at some degree hahaha...
If you have ever known about him, then you will understand what I mean LOL
Anyways, this piece is really unknown, at least for most of the Berio lovers.
It seems like that it's out of their "contemporary" radar haha
Dunno if you guys love Beatles songs? I'm not in the right time to burn anyways...
Hope you enjoy~
Singer: Sophia Borgos

2:05 Ticket to Ride
3:35 Yesterday
6:42 Michelle II
Thanks!
i was prepared to get weirded out by Berio, but I was not prepared mentally at all to this. In fact i think this baroque style weirded me out even more. Berio always gives suprises.
So true xDDD
I couldn't have explained it better, however, in "Michelle II" something of Berio showed up.@@SisselOnline
Michelle II is a masterpiece
My favorite by far.
Agree
💯💖
So unexpected, however Berio shows itself again as a master of arranging prexisting material.
Berio is always stunningly coherent. As Schoenberg once mentioned he couldn´t write any music without being truly inspired, whether tonal, atonal, twelve-tone or in C Major, Berio likewise only wrote wonderful music, be it "Circles" (which may sound pretty dissonant but is also based on Monteverdi and "Pierrot Lunaire", re-created by different means and with different aims) or the much performed "Folk Songs".
This is weird… Berio did this 2 years after they were written. Imagine someone doing something equivalent today.
Yeah, then here comes the lawsuits.
Leo Brouwer did for guitar and strings the best Beatles versions ever. They are on UA-cam.
Owo
K
Maybe Ades make a version of houdini by dua lipa xD
Thanks for sharing! A hidden gem of the composer!
Agree!!!
I like them all, but Michelle I and Yesterday in particular are breathtaking. Thanks for uploading!
Actually, Berio wrote a lot of music based on older material. The Folksongs, for instance, which have been recorded a number of times. I assume these arrangements were written for Cathy Berberian. I have heard her recording of Ticket to Ride in Berio's arrangement, although I remember it being rather satirical, jokey even, about the Baroque vocals.
The Genius always surprises…
The singer is Sophia Burgos, in case anyone’s interested…
I was absolutely interested, and it stinks that she's not identified prominently in the description.
Awh
Sorry!
@@SisselOnline It's OK, just please remember in the future to credit the soloists! They are the stars of the show!
@@ejb7969 All the musicians in this case , this is a chamber piece so every musician is a soloist not only the singer.;)
Imagine this preceding the Sinfonia on a concert 😎
The more I hear of Berio the more I like him
2 thoughts here: 1.) This set of pieces from Berio doesn't surprise me a bit. Real "departures from the norm" can't possibly be made without a thorough and deep knowledge of what's come before it. Also; 2.) well worth looking at/comparing to the model work is LB's orchestration of Brahms' f minor clarinet sonata.
I didn't have enough understanding at that time lol
Also, I thought no one will say his Bruhms arrangement lol
@@SisselOnline I came across it years ago. I'd love to do an analysis/comparison of Berio's result with the model some time.
Can’t believe this is the same guy that brought us the Sequenzas! Hahah so beautiful
Yeah, same thought
This is a very nice gem! It reminds me of the neobaroque-esque things of the Group des Six...
Berio era veramente eclettico 💖💖💖💖💖
A beautiful work filled with humor, but above all respect and love!
Absolutely charming!
Amazing work, thank you for sharing it!!
Wow. very unexpected. And as one of your commentators says, 2 years after they where written? !! Yow:) Thanks for posting!
Yeah 🤣
Omg this is brilliant!!!!
Genius homage to genius.
Think "Pulcinella" in order to absorb this one. How would Ringo fit into this ensemble?
Don't you love the 'neo-Air in D' treatment of "Yesterday" - actually these arrangements are an act of pristine clarity. These are honest, not a bit "slumming it" but refreshingly open.
I wonder if J_P_G_R ever have had a chance to hear them? Probably Paul would be a little overwhelmed at the imaginative and polished level of quality, but would ultimately approve. Someone send a link to Paul!
Owo may I kindly ask who the Paul you are talking about is Owo
There are pics of Berio and Paul.
I wasn't that big on Ticket to Ride, but actually the other three (especially the latter two) are really nice.
Well, my fav is the piece next to Tickets to Ride xD
I'm surprised, but also knowing Berio, why not!?
Why not not? :P
You should also check out Igudesman and Joo’s HILARIOUS rendition of Ticket To Ride!
Edit: lol just realised that was the Andriessen arrangement
Interesting there are two arrangements of 'Michelle'.
Unexpectedly beautiful
wonderful
Wonderful especially Michelle
Great romantic arrangement.
romantic? it's more baroque-like
Both I will say
This is really interesting.
아니 이게 무슨 충격적인..그냥 다른 베리오인줄.. 아 마지막 곡 들으니 베리오 맞네 ㅎㅎ
I like Michelle II :)
gotta love making “yesterday” into a baroque aria lol
Omg this is amazing
0:02 why do the flutes play tenuto like staccato?
Good question, first 2 tenutos sound like staccato
Great! Thank you for posting!
Where did you find the score for this?
Not gonna expose xD
Genius ¡¡
Anybody who thinks this isn't 'typical' Berio really doesn't know much about Berio.
At least it's not like the famous pieces he composed (?)
@@SisselOnline Transcription and arrangement were a large part of his compositional practice. It isn't hard to find other examples.
Agree.
agree
Tuning: 0c: A4 = 440Hz
What a joy to find this ! Saw score for Sequenza IV then saw this . Berio did so many many inventive things and took so many roads . He reset Schubert wrote a Sequenza for guitar and other instruments we dont see much in the concert hall ! The 60's was a special time and he got universal attention . Only Ades and a very few others Unsuk Chin, Missy Mazzoli,Saariaho have gotten any real notable press . Whitacre is well known to college choir students but who really commands the multitudes like Bolcolm,Bernstein and Boulez did in the 60's and 70's .I don't know if classical music will regain the ears culture has become more fragmented and racial enmity exists now as bad as it did in the 70's. So many good black composers writing now and Pulitzers are being awarded to every group with someone excellent doing work -but how can any of this be cemented without education in the schools ?
The orchestrati9n of the final Michelle wasn’t in the score (such as violin harmonics, and similar.)
Also, it's performed a minor third lower than the score.
Is this an attempt at mockery of the Fab 4 ?
You guess lol
woah. I can't say this often, but here I can say I've never really heard anything like this....
also your description is quite apt, I'm not familiar enough with Berio's work, but this is quite different than his sequenza pieces
😂 it's very different!
(Idk what apt means....)
@@SisselOnline What I mean is that I agree with your description haha
Thanks for uploading this with the score!
icic
Thanks!
Is that a Manon lescaut reference in the beginning? Hahahaha
I liked Michelle, but should have been in eflat minor. Literally would have looked a million times better
No comments.
Agreed. Unsure why Berio didn't do that
Errata Corrige Singer Sophia Burgos
absolute dunk lmao
Yesterday sounds exactly like a piece written 600 years ago
Haha, maybe just 300-400 yrs ago
@@SisselOnline yea i start losing track after 100 lol
Haha😆
600 years ago are the 1400s. Think Renaissance music, like Guillaume Dufay or Josquin des Prez. Yesterday is a Baroque pastiche, so 17th century, more than 2 centuries later. It happened A LOT of things musically between both.
You can listen to that for comparison ua-cam.com/video/6mcxEtyEUw4/v-deo.html
I thought they were arranged by Andriessen?
I think those are different arrangements?
@@SisselOnline aahh yes they seem to be. I didn’t know about these berio ones!
XDDD
Only Cathy Berberian can sing these beatles arias !!!
But then this time it's Sophia Burgos lol
Burgos cannot sing these songs, it lacks intelligence.
Literally antibody could sing this. The singing isn't really the point.
*anybody, I guess
@@tatewos8174 - I wonder if you also consider McCartney's renditions to be 'lacking intelligence', because: "Only Cathy Berberian can sing these beatles arias !!!"
Who doesn't love another amateur dilettante throwing his objective truths about music down on others! :-)
Why did dear Luciano have to scrimp on popular songs? He could do it on his own musical issues: the totalitarianism of music technology...
Owo
He almost manages to make them good.
They were good in the First place. Many trained musicians
can't come up with a decent
melody. Of course Ticket to ride doesn't kick ass and also proves that in some Styles a
raw natural voice works better
than a trained one. Case in point Pavarotti vocalising with
B.B.King was painful. I heard
songs with Guitar by Sor and
Giuliani,tune, accompaniment
and lyrics sucked compared
to the untrained scousers even
in '63/64.
I heard bach 😁
Especially at the Memory, yep
LOL LMAO ROFLMAO!!!!
I can't wait to use AI-based audio programs to create stuff like this with just a simple prompt. And even more excited for when it's actually decent output
Haha
Ok, but yet hate Beatles
K
Awful...i think it missed the point artistically.....Michelle is particularly bad...
Sad.png
Could you elaborate? I think this set is incredibly imaginative.
THANK YOU
