Composed on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the birth of Dante, Laborintus 2 illuminates the fabulous theatrical scene animated by the music of Luciano Berio, one of the great figures in contemporary music of the generation of Boulez and Stockhausen.

Cathy Berberian, singer and wife of Luciano Berio, was one of music's true originals. Equally adept at Monteverdi and the wildest effusions of the avant-garde, her performances brought her husband's music to new and appreciative audiences, while permitting Berio to create some of his most gripping work at the same time. Folk Songs is exactly what the title says―a collection of folk songs from around the world which gives Berberian the opportunity to demonstrate her ability to sing in different languages and styles. Recital 1 is something else again―a monologue for soprano that reveals the slow disintegration of her personality. It's a nervous breakdown in music. Berberian performs everything on this disc brilliantly.

H'un: In Memoriam 1966-1976 is emphatically an angry and grieving cry of historical experience. This essay was composed in 1987, the year Sheng became an American citizen. The word H'un, pronounced like the tribe of Attila, is translated by the composer as “lacerations.” The music of the Chinese-American composer Bright Sheng (b 1955) sometimes floats like delicate fragrances on a breeze and sometimes screams and writhes in actual or remembered agony. In 1978, Sheng became one of the first to be admitted to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, where he earned his composition degree. Moving to New York City in 1982, he continued his composition studies at Queens College of the City University of New York with George Perle and Hugo Weisgall, at Columbia University with Chou Wen-chung, Jack Beeson, and Mario Davidovsky, and with his mentor Leonard Bernstein.

"The way your thoughts are, is the way you life will be." Father Tadej

Serbian Orthodox Christian monk, Father Tadey (Otac Tadej) (1914-2003) from monastery Vitovnica, was considered by many to be a Saint. This is an amazing interview he gave 1 year before his death. Although very old and ill, he has managed to give us a lot of Truth and Wisdom, some of it isn't very "orthodox" and was never heard before. Interview conducted by Velja Pavlovic
