| Naxos | Describing himself as the Bad Boy of Music, the American composer, George Antheil, was to divert composition down new paths of rhythmic aggression. Already established as an outstanding pianist, his piano works created a riot at a Paris concert in 1923. It was the type of notoriety that produced numerous commissions, many of his works from this era including jazz elements. By the time he wrote the Fourth and Sixth symphonies in the 1940's, his style had largely changed. The strong rhythmic element remained, but now it was just one element in an interesting blend of bitter-sweet lyricism, march rhythms and American folk tunes. Fifty years later we view Antheil's revolutionary modernism as an attractive element in his colourful scores. |
