Fred Goldbeck

Fred Goldbeck (13 February 1902 – 3 October 1981 in Paris) was a French musicologist and conductor of Dutch origin.

Biography

Born in the Netherlands, Fred Goldbeck moved to France in 1924. He met the pianist Yvonne Lefébure and became his companion before the Second World War. They got married in 1947.[1]

As a conductor, he was first of all a disciple of Mengelberg and Furtwängler. Thus he wrote an important first book: Le parfait chef d'orchestre.[2] Thereafter, he defended the works of contemporary composers such as Busoni and Britten, until Boulez and Xenakis. He also promoted Dutch musicians such as Alphons Diepenbrock, Matthijs Vermeulen and Willem Pijper.
