Background: Ondine release the world-premiere recording of Stanze, the last piece completed by Berio prior to his death in May 2003. The work was the result of a commission from the Orchestre de Paris and received its first performance in Paris under Christoph Eschenbach in January 2004. Scored for baritone, three male voice choirs and orchestra, Stanze consists of settings of texts by five poets that were important for Berio.

The orchestral work Rendering (1988-89) stems from the music of Schubert, specifically the incomplete sketches for a Symphony in D major (D936A). Berio did not seek to recreate what Schubert might have written, but filled in the gaps with his own music. As such, the result has been compared to the restoration of a crumbling fresco, where a clear distinction is made between the original and the new additions.
