Arte Nova Classics, 2005
More Jazzy Classics from the 20s
This is every bit as distinguished an effort as Michael Rische's Piano Concertos of the 1920s, Volume 1. If anything, it is even more of a revelation because of the inclusion of Erwin Schulhoff's Concerto. This is clearly an important work. It starts off with a ...

Hamelin: Jazz
Marc-Andre Hamelin's jazz CD is fabulous! I was totally unfamiliar with the works on this CD and, as usual, Hamelin never ceases to amaze me both in his facility, but also his superb interpretations! I can't even imagine these works played better.

Fun to listen to!
Listening to this CD is fun. The CD has a diverse selection of contemporary dances for solo piano, ranging from familiar favorites, such as Gollywog's Cakewalk by Debussy, to lesser known and unconventional but charming works, such as del Aguila's Conga. The ...

Centaur, 2001
Charming and delightful
This CD will appeal to lovers of classical music and cats. A surprising number of classical composers wrote piano pieces and songs about our feline friends and this disc serves up a number of surprising gems. The many moods and musical styles found are astonishing ...
Four American Quartets

Naxos American, 2008
Four fine rarities
"Four American Quartets" is what it says on the box, and four American quartets are indeed what we get. Aside from their being American, there's not much to tie these quartets together, which makes the disc somewhat unusual in the Naxos universe, where the main object ...

EMI Classics, 2006
22 Bravos
22 piano encores some familiar most not, at least to me, played with manly beauty by Leif Ove Andsnes. A treasure chest. A horizon expanding recording. 22 Bravos

Cpo Records, 2000
the best available recordings of Antheil's symphonies
George Antheil had more ups and downs than most in his career as an American composer. From the extravagant (and perhaps ultimately damaging) attention paid him in Europe in his early twenties---though many, including Aaron Copland, considered him at the time to be the ...

Funny, Saucy, Jazzy Piano Music Done with Panache
I've been neither hot nor cold about the music of Antheil's I've heard before. And I wasn't prepared to like this issue all that much. But it knocked my socks off. I tend to like French-influenced music from early in the twentieth-century and these pieces certainly ...

Fun stuff
Michael Tilson Thomas is one of the great conductors of this century, having proven himself over and over again with the London and San Francisco Symphonys, and now the New World Symphony, a Florida-based training orchestra. In this recording he also shows that he's ...
The Story of American Classical Music

Naxos, 2005
A Great Intro to American Classical Music - Almost a Short Course!
Many reasonably sophisticated American and European musiclovers still think there are really no American classical music composers of note other than perhaps Gershwin and Copland. It is to the credit of the Naxos label, via their 'American Classics' series, that the ...

Naxos, 2000
Forgotten American Master
George Antheil (1900-1959) is forgotten today. If the music on this CD is typical, then that is a real shame. Antheil's two symphonies (excellently recorded by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine under the direction of Theodor Kuchar) are real finds. They ...

Le hot jazz--Real Hot
If this album were a movie, I guess it would be called a "high concept" flick. And the concept is a good and interesting one. France in the 1920s was in love with "le hot jazz," and all of the works on this CD have a French connection, either because the composer ...
George Antheil: Symphony No. 3 "American"

Hugo Wolf

Cpo Records, 2004
Simply Terrific Music
The theme of the CD is music by George Antheil reflecting themes of Americana, and what a fabulous disc it is. After his return to the United States in 1932, George Antheil got some much needed work writing film scores. The Third Symphony was begun in 1936 and ...
George Antheil: The Complete Works for String Quartet
George Antheil
Other Minds, 2005
This landmark CD represents the first-ever complete compilation of string quartet works by American composer George Antheil (1900-1959). Each of these works was composed during a different stylistic era in Antheil's development, and a great deal of historical research was conducted prior to the recording sessions in order to closely match the ...
Music at the Bauhaus

MD&G Records, 1999
An interesting program of discoveries, though it doesn't really carry out the disc's project
This is an interesting program, though I am not sure it faithfully carries out the disc's project. The Bauhaus was the famous art, architecture and design school established in 1919 by architect Walter Gropius (Alma Mahler's second husband) in Weimar, Germany. It ...
