Anton Beer-Walbrunn (1864-1929) was a teacher of counterpoint, harmony, composition and piano at the Royal Academy of Music in Munich, where he was one of the leading figures in the music scene, but his work is almost forgotten. To change this is the aim of a series at BAYER RECORDS, the third part of which presents the piano cycle Reisebilder Op.21 as well as selected songs. The German soprano, Angelika Huber, sang for several years with the children's choir of the Bavarian State and continued her musical education at the Bayerische Singakademie (a scholarship system of the Bavarian State). After graduating from high school, she studied singing at the Munich Academy for Music and Theater. Born in Venthône (Switzerland), Lauriane Follonier studied piano in Neuchâtel with Marc Pantillon and in Munich, where she graduated in 2011 with the piano master class with Prof. Gitti Pirner. Currently she is studying to receive her Master of Early Music with emphasis on fortepiano with Prof. Christine Schornsheim.
