====== Luciano Berio: Gesti ======

World première
Amsterdam (NL), 30.11.1965 - Frans Brüggen

Work introduction
Gesti calls for (almost literally) breathtaking virtuosity – fingers, tongue and respiration must be skilfully coordinated. The instrumental sounds, combined over and over with the flutist’s voice, occasionally have a humorous effect, such as when the flute suggests a bird gone mad; in the final section, we hear that the instrument can sing, as well.(from: [[https://www.universaledition.com/luciano-berio-54/works/gesti-2642
