The music of Swiss composer Conrad Beck (1901-1989) has largely been forgotten since his death. Beck, during his lifetime, wrote seven symphonies, twenty concertos and concertante works, four string quartets, and several choral works and solo songs. This release is the first recording of Beck’s complete piano music. With a style similar to Hindemith and Honeggar, Beck uses heavy contrapuntal textures in these works. Pianist Gabrielle Beck-Lipsi performs these works, and is not only an outstanding musician, but also the wife of Hans Jacob Beck, son of Conrad Beck.
