Berio’s Duetti for two violins feature in two different frameworks of the Paris Festival d’Automne. On November 22, 26 and December 6 a selection of the Duetti will be juxtapositioned to excerpts from Macé’s Ambidextre and Stockhausen’s Kontakte in a creative mosaic performed by students of the Rameau middle school of Versailles directed by Christophe Junivart. 
Workwhitinwork, William Forsythe’s famous interpretation of Berio’s Duetti, will be performed in Paris (November 17-26) and in other venues and dates by the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon within the “Portrait” of the American choreographer featured by the Festival d’Automne.

On October 18 and 19 Radio Classica broadcasted the program «Note d’autore, a tu per tu con i compositori d’oggi», entirely devoted to Luciano Berio. An extended interview with Angela Ida De Benedictis, editor of Berio’s Scritti sulla musica published by Einaudi in 2013, approaches the composer’s writings and is intersected with excerpts from his music. The program can be listened in podcast on the Soundcloud channel of Radio Classica.
In October 2014 the finnish label Ondine released a new CD with Hannu Lintu conducting the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Sinfonia, Quattro versioni originali della "Ritirata Notturna di Madrid di L. Boccherini" and Calmo, with the participation of mezzo-soprano Virpi Räisänen.
