Luciano Berio

Japanese: ベリオ - べりお(英語表記)Luciano Berio
Luciano Berio

Italian composer. Along with Nono and Bussotti, he is one of the leading figures in Italian avant-garde music after the Second World War. Since becoming director of the phonetics studio established at the Italian National Television's Milan branch in 1955, he has developed an interest in electronic music and computer music. Compared to his contemporaries, particularly Boulez and Stockhausen, who were also active at the Darmstadt Summer School and with whom he is often compared, he is characterized by his lack of shyness towards tonality, and he has produced works such as Sinfonia (1968) that are like collages of classical symphonies by Debussy and Mahler. His representative works include Theme Joyce Homme (1958) for female voices and electronic sounds, the chamber music series Sequenza Nos. 1-14 (1958-2002), the vocal work Circles (1960), the play Laborintus II (1965), the opera The True Story (1982), the orchestral work Formazioni (1987), and the opera News of Places (1999). He also conducts and directs.

イタリアの作曲家。ノーノ、ブソッティとともに、第二次世界大戦後のイタリア前衛音楽を代表する。1955年、イタリア国営放送ミラノ局に設立された音声学スタジオのディレクターとなって以来、電子音楽やコンピュータ音楽への関心が高まる。同じ世代、ことに同じようにダルムシュタット夏期音楽講座で活躍し、比較されることの多いブーレーズ、シュトックハウゼンに比べると、調性を忌避しないところに特徴がみられ、『シンフォニア』Sinfonia(1968)のようにドビュッシーやマーラーの古典交響曲をコラージュしたような作品もある。代表作に女声と電子音のための『テーマ・ジョイス頌(しょう)』(1958)、室内楽曲シリーズ『セクエンツァ』第1番~第14番(1958~2002)、声楽曲『サークルズ』(1960)、劇作品『ラボリントゥスⅡ』(1965)、オペラ『真実の物語』(1982)、管弦楽曲『フォルマツィオーニ』(1987)、オペラ『場所のニュース』(1999)などがある。指揮や演出も手がける。
