I've always been connected with the reality of the performance. I never was attracted to computer music. One way Berio would like to change sounds reaching the audience is to raise and lower the orchestra pit during opera performances and to move the instruments around. You can perform Verdi. But you perform Berg's 'Wozzeck,' and the music is suffering.
Complex music tends to be damaged by the orchestra pit.
Last year we performed a new work of mine at La Scala. We rearranged and had a change in the balance in the orchestra. The result I think was very important. All rights reserved.
