This collection of works for unaccompanied voices is bookended by works by singer Cathy Berberian and composer Luciano Berio, who were once married to each other. John Cage’s Story is a movement of his percussion quartet Living Room Music, while Young Turtle Asymmetries is by Cage’s pupil Jackson Mac Low and Roger Marsh’s Not a Soul But Ourselves is set to a text by James Joyce. Usually done solo, Berberian’s Stripsody, with its score consisting solely of cartoons, is sung here by a trio and must be heard to be believed.
“There’s also plenty of humor in the Cage, which gets a little bit of swing in this performance, making it a very catchy number, and in Sheldon Frank’s ‘As I was Saying.’ The group’s director, Paul Hillier, takes a solo on the latter, hamming it up with a low-rent accent in this compilation of the sounds people make when they’re vamping.”—Opera News
“Burps, sighs and coughs. Hisses, purrs and groans. Giggles, barks, polyglot whispers and the chaste-sexy shreds of madrigals and motets cast a spell in Theatre of Voices’s performance of ‘A-ronne’. Luciano Berio’s virtuosic 1974 quintet opens a disc that explores extended vocal techniques and narrative, and closes with Cathy Berberian’s rapacious ‘Stripsody’ (1966). John Cage’s ‘Story’ (1940), meanwhile, anticipates the Sugarhill Gang in its playful rhythms.”—The Independent
