Alongside its much-lauded Copland series, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra embarks on an American journey with chief guest conductor, John Storgårds. Known as "the bad boy of music," George Antheil began his career with a reputation as an enfant terrible, composing shockingly avant-garde works such as his ever-popular Ballet mecanique, inspired by the dynamism and dissonances of Stravinsky’s early ballets. Although he is well established on the film music scene, it is his symphonic output, sampled here, that survives in the concert hall. This series documents the evolution of his style, which moved towards a fundamentally tonal and melody-based idiom as Antheil joined the growing ranks of famous US symphonists. In addition to the war-inspired Fourth Symphony and the "joyous" Fifth Symphony, the programme features the premiere recording of the Texas-inspired Over the Plains, memorable for its allusions to cowboy music and offering some unexpectedly dramatic and atmospheric twists along the way.
