Antheil: Orchestral Works / Storgards, BBC Philharmonic
The symphonic output of George Antheil, the self-proclaimed âbad boy of musicâ, is further investigated by the BBC Philharmonic and its Chief Guest Conductor, John StorgĂ„rds, in the second album of the series. Following his early experimentations with modernist ideas as an enfant terrible in 1920s Paris, the stylistic trajectory of his symphonies over the next decades mirrors his self-confessed desire to learn more orthodox compositional techniques. This album explores two more of his symphonies: Symphony No. 3 (compl. 1946), only one movement of which was performed during Antheilâs lifetime, and Symphony No. 6 (compl. 1950), in which the influences of Shostakovich and Ives make themselves heard. Completing this exciting album from the BBC Philharmonic and StorgĂ„rds are two lively symphonic pieces, Archipelago (1935) and Hot-Time Dance (1948), and a re-orchestration into a concert waltz of music from the strikingly eclectic score to Specter of the Rose (1946). This film tells the gripping story of a male ballet dancer suspected of having murdered his first wife and of being on the verge of dispatching his second in the same manner.

REVIEW:
Antheilâs sound world comes vividly alive with the BBC Philharmonic under John StorgĂ„rdsâ perceptive and idiomatic leadership. For the most part, StorgĂ„rdsâ interpretations are comparable to those in Hugh Wolffâs standard-setting CPO Antheil cycle. They also boast a small sonic advantage in that Chandosâ engineering captures first-desk soloists and string tuttis at closer range, in contrast to CPOâs slightly diffuse concert hall realism.
