Amy Beach

[epigramophone]

A collector friend has asked me whether the composer and pianist Amy Beach (1867-1944) ever made recordings.
I can find no evidence that she did, although she performed extensively in concerts, and a search of this forum produced no results.
Should I tell my friend that the answer to his question is "No", or does anyone here know otherwise?

I would say no. If she had, it would undoubtedly have been referred to & circulated by now.

She certainly couldn't have done it while her husband was alive

I refer readers of this thread to the evidently well-documented and thorough entry in the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Beach. Formerly referred to by her married name as Mrs. H.H.A. Beach, Amy Cheney is her birth name.

Wikipedia was my first search, but having found no recordings of Beach herself in the incomplete discography I asked the experts here, just in case Wikipedia had missed something.

I don't think Amy Beach made records, but the Olive Meade Quartet, with which she performed at least a time or two and which gave the New York premiere of her Piano Quintet in F-Sharp Minor, made some cylinders for Edison.
