British composer David Beck's new CD Flights of Fancy is now available from primafacie.ascrecords.com (http://www.primafacie.ascrecords.com). I've been particularly interested in a couple of works on it, the duo for violin and viola and the String Quartet N°1. The String Quartet N°1 from 1962 has already been reviewed on www.musicweb-international.com (http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2008/feb08/The_Brotish_Quartet_campion2071.htm) as it was on another CD, and that review gives a very good description of it. There are seven movements in the Duets for Violin and Viola ranging from 1'14" to 3'34" in duration, in a very individual style.
