Info for Phoenix

A musical fairy tale of fire and flames – PHOENIX, the third studio release by German pianist Beatrix Becker, sees her rising to unknown heights and summits. Recorded in Berlin at the legendary Hansa studios, her compositions for grand piano, bass clarinet and three(!) cellos tell of life passages and transformations, of endings and new beginnings, of dreams, courage, and hope. Playing with fire, Beatrix and her companions Gregor Fuhrmann, Daniel Hoffmann, Sebastian Selke (cellos) and special guest Cora Venus Lunny (violin) of Ireland, span a shining rainbow with tango, klezmer, flamenco and jazz vignettes. Bridges are built and burnt to ashes, as the PHOENIX rises in the air with an epic widescreen sound.

“A wonderful score for a movie yet to be made“ (Ronald Klein, Tip Berlin). Those who like the music of Giora Feidman, John Williams, Paco de Lucia, Astor Piazzolla, Didier Squiban and Ludovico Einaudi will love to participate in this fiery, inspiring dance of the PHOENIX!

Beatrix Becker
Before starting her career as a solo artist and composer, Beatrix Becker studied classical clarinet and piano, recorded several CDs as the leader of the acclaimed tango band 'Bassa', playing more than 100 concerts a year and sharing stages all over Europe and Israel with the likes of Giora Feldman, Helmut Eisel, and Raul Jaurena. In 2012, she followed an instinct to travel to Buenos Aires and found the vibrant metropolis to be the perfect inspiration for her first solo album, 'Melody of Love', which was critically acclaimed 'a remarkable expression of our times' (PIANONews). She was invited as artist in residence to Switzerland where the lakes and rivers of the country inspired her to record the CD 'Wassermusiken' (Water Musics). Critically acclaimed as a 'musical poet' (Tip Berlin) Beatrix Becker has become a a household name in the European event and festival scene. Following an enthusiastically received high profile concert at Berlin's Admirals' Palace, Becker is now back to touring Europe and creating her new CD 'Phoenix'.
