George Antheil's Greatest

The list author says:
	"If you buy one CD, this has to be it: shows why the loud, fast, and out-of-control Ballet Mecanique is such a masterpiece of the 20th century."

The list author says:
	"And here's the book to go along with it: more fiction than fact, but a hilarious trove of anecdotes on Paris in the 20s and on Hollywood's golden age."

The list author says:
	"Hugh Wolf does a good job with this rollicking music. Shades of Shostakovitch abound."

The list author says:
	"The Slovak Philharmonia rocks."

The list author says:
	"The trumpet sonata is a good, solid piece."

The list author says:
	"Worth checking out for the first two violin sonatas."

The list author says:
	"A classic about Paris in the 1920's. George Antheil lived upstairs from the bookshop, and was a featured attraction."

The list author says:
	"Sylvia Beach's memoirs, apparently slightly expurgated, nonetheless fascinating."

The list author says:
	"A mono re-issue of the original LP, but leaps off the disc nonetheless."

The list author says:
	"Steffen Schleiermacher is another pianist who really understands the brashness of George's music."

The list author says:
	"A moving, beautifully-constructed recording of the quartets, highly recommended."

The list author says:
	"The only recording I know about containing the flute sonata."

The list author says:
	"Not only a bargain, this is a fun and vigorous recording, a good place to start if you've never heard of Antheil, and want to check out the "bad boy's" music."
