Ensemble Renard comprises five of the country’s most outstanding young musicians. Their programme, which celebrates the centenary of the Italian composer Luciano Berio, is built around four of his Sequenzas for solo wind instruments. Each sequenza ‘is a compositional love-letter from Berio to the repertoires and possibilities of each instrument.’
Wherever you start with Berio, you won’t want to end, only keep listening, listening on… (Guardian)
