Le monde selon George Antheil

 

DATE OF RELEASE MAY 13 2022

“her impetuous, sometimes rough-hewn assault on Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No 7 with pianist Joonas Ahonen certainly demands our attention. So does their unflagging delivery of the machine-age repetitions and Stravinsky-isms of George Antheil’s Sonata No. 1.”
– The Times

”Across the outer movements both performers pursue Antheil’s truculently provocative mechanistic browbeating with conspiratorial relish and unstoppable élan. Kopatchinskaja unleashed is a thing to behold; and Joonas Ahonen is every bit as engaged and resolute as the fizzing ferment of Petrushka or the savagery of The Rite of Spring are left blinking in disbelief.”
– BBC Music Magazine

”A miracle that the two such individual musicians could hold their nerve simultaneously”
– The Gramophone
