Description: "Antheil the Futurist" is the title and almost all of his transgressive, in-your-face compositions with their "shocking" appropriation of American popular music, barbaric percussive playing techniques and modernist juxtapositions were done in Berlin from 1921-23. Several first recordings here, including a new version of the Sonate Sauvage with a previously missing movement and using the manuscript which has numerous differences from the published score. World Premiere Recordings - * Guy Livingston (piano), Philippe Keler (four hands), Stephane Leach (six hands).
