Dive into the avant-garde world of George Antheil with his compelling collection of orchestral works, released on April 17, 2020, under the CPO label. This album is a testament to Antheil's innovative spirit, featuring a mix of serene and dynamic compositions that showcase his unique musical language. The album opens with two serenades, the first for string orchestra and the second for full orchestra, each offering a blend of tranquility and intensity. The first serenade's three movements, from the lively Allegro to the spirited Vivo, contrast beautifully with the second serenade's more expansive and dramatic structure. The album also includes "Golden Bird," a whimsical and enchanting piece, and "Dreams," a nine-movement suite that takes the listener through a variety of moods and styles, from the playful Polka to the elegant Valse lent. With a total runtime of 1 hour and 14 minutes, this album is a captivating journey through Antheil's imaginative and boundary-pushing compositions.
