  • Description

    The symphonic oeuvre of the still little-known composer Franz Ignaz Beck, the "Berlioz of the 18th century", is so crazily unconventional and bold that even today one can only marvel at the "modernity" of the contemporary Parisian audience, which was virtually at his feet. Beck turned out to be a progressive and individual "striker and pusher" in the truest sense of the word, opening up the expressive possibilities of his time far into the future. From Mannheim via Italy, Beck found his way to Marseille, where his symphonies developed into real showpieces of the famous Parisian "Concerts spirituels" and went through numerous print runs. Our new set brings together six symphonies each from Opera 3 and 4. La Stagione on period instruments under the direction of Michael Schneider give a brilliant and highly intense performance.
