Documented collaborators
Recital I is a performer-focused project centered on the intimate, innovative music of Luciano Berio, originally composed for the legendary mezzo-soprano Cathy Berberian. The piece blends mezzo-soprano solo with a 17-instrument ensemble, stretching across languages in Italian and English. This page highlights the performer lineage, key recordings, and upcoming appearances that keep Berio’s experimental spirit alive for new audiences.

Background notes: Berio's Recital I premiered on May 27, 1972, in Lisbon at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, featuring Cathy Berberian with the London Sinfonietta in the Italian premiere later that year. The performance typically runs about 35 minutes and showcases a compelling dialogue between voice and ensemble. While Cathy Berberian herself is no longer with us (1983), archival and official material is maintained by institutions and dedicated sites, ensuring access to the original intention and performance practice.
