Folk Songs by Elisabeth Hetherington 100 years of Berio with the DoelenEnsemble

In 2025, Berio would have turned 100 years old. Up-and-coming Canadian-Dutch soprano Elisabeth Hetherington and the DoelenEnsemble delve into his Folk Songs for this occasion. They supplement Berio's cycle with their own selection of folk songs, because Berio himself was far from finished:

'I have an impossible dream, even though I know it cannot be realized: I would like to create a unity between folk music and our music – a real, perceptible, understandable continuity between age-old, popular music that is so close to everyday work and our music is there.' - Luciano Berio
