Work introduction
Recital for Cathy is one of the most important rediscoveries of recent years. Luciano Berio wrote this highly entertaining, 35-minute piece of musical theatre for his then-wife, Cathy Berberian, including numerous quotations from musical history in a tragiccomic style. A list of the quotations and references can be found on Wikipedia.
