M°Reck is mostly renowned world-wide for his interpretations of Gustav Mahler’s work, as well as of the Second Viennese School’s (Berg, Schoenberg and Webern) and for his interest and support of contemporary music. These features can be found in his vast painting production, characterised mostly by an abstract and synesthetical style, with contaminations and fascinations from the musical world.〔http://www.comune.napoli.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/25110〕 It is only recently that he decided to start exhibiting, in addition to his conducting activity, with dates in the most renowned galleries and museums.
