Czech Chamber Po:Stilec - Beck: Symphonies Op. 4/ 3

Beck's symphonies have long been regarded as among the most striking works of their kind from the mid-18th century. Remarkable for their dramatic flair, rich harmonic language and fluid, inventive part writing, the symphonies Opp. 3 and 4 (published in 1762 and 1766 respectively) display a rare level of compositional finish that elevates them above all but the very greatest symphonies of their time. Further Beck symphonies may be heard on Naxos 8553790 and 8570799.
