From Amazon.co.uk With this disc， we finally have a picture perfect recording of Antheil’s futuristic Ballet Mèchanique. Originally penned in the 1920s， Antheil’s opus work gives us a snapshot of what the future of music must have sounded like in the early part of the century. Replete with buzzers， doorbells， aeroplane propellers and a kitchen sink of chiming percussion， the Ensemble Modern gives the most scathingly energetic performance ever burned to disc. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Just as eye opening is the iconoclastic duet for piano and violin， Violin Sonata No. 1， which Antheil originally performed with Ezra Pound’s mistress， the violinist Olga Rudge back in 1923. A screeching violin chatters away accompanied by a nervous， choppy piano. The piece， in typical Antheil style， starts out fast and gets faster; the repetitive phrasing anticipates minimalism 40 years ahead of its time. Antheil had his ear tuned to the sounds of his day; in addition to clattering futurism， this disc also is soaked with jazz influences. It’s the hottest classical record ever made and will surely appeal to lovers of all types of music， be it classical， avant-garde， jazz or punk rock. --Kenneth Goldsmith
