...music comment on society? To the extent that electronic sounds suggest the dissonances in everyday life? Perhaps. But, as Italian-born Composer Luciano Beno says, music "cannot lower the cost of bread. It is incapable of stopping wars, it cannot eradicate slums and injustice." Granting that much, Beno, a leading innovator of musical forms, refuses to accept the conventional barriers. He is appalled that composers today seem to regard music as an isolated phenomenon, created in a vacuum for the "greater glory of musical systems.""

...likelihood, that will not be the fate of Luciano Berio. Last week at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, Berio led the New York Philharmonic and the Swingle Singers in the world premiere of his Sinfonia. It is a white-hot musical experience that invokes the malaise of the times better than all the sit-ins, beards, beads and clubbings that wrench contemporary life...

Impressed by her ability to mix bel canto with barks, grunts, moans and sighs and to compete vocally with tape-recorded noises and electronic beeps, such experimental composers as John Cage, Sylvano Busotti and Luciano Berio (her estranged hus band) have helped make her the undisputed diva of the daring (TIME, Oct. 4, 1963) by creating pieces for her. Currently, she is fluttering far-out circles by doing something unusual even for her - singing Beatle songs...
