Peter Dumsday; The Astra Chamber Music Society.Johanna Magdalena Beyer, (18881944) was born in Leipzig and moved to the United States sometime around 1924. After studying at various schools in New York, and with composers including Dane Rudhyar, Charles Seeger, Henry Cowell and Ruth Crawford, she began a highly productive and interesting period of composition which lasted from around 1932 to almost 1940.Beyer is one of the pioneering figures of the experimental strain in contemporary American music. This double-CD set, featuring world premiere recordings of all the works, is the first ever devoted entirely to Beyer's music. Condition: Like new; still sealed in factory shrink-wrap, as issued.
