Luciano Berio quotes
-
“Opera once was an important social instrument - especially in Italy. With Rossini and Verdi, people were listening to opera together and having the same catharsis with the same story, the same moral dilemmas. They were holding hands in the darkness. That has gone. Now perhaps they are holding hands watching television.”
-- Luciano Berio -
“Music is everything that one listens to with the intention of listening to music.”
-- Luciano Berio -
“In music, as I find myself forever saying, things don't get better or worse: they evolve and transform themselves.”
-- Luciano Berio -
“The relation between practical and spiritual spheres in music is obvious, if only because it demands ears, finger, consciousness and intellect.”
-- Luciano Berio -

“She was the kind of person who would rather light a candle than curse the darkness.”
