Our Take

It's time to take a trip back to the roaring twenties with the BBC Philharmonic and conductor John Storgards as they bring us a dazzling collection of George Antheil's orchestral works in Volume 1. This album is a time machine straight to the heart of the jazz age, where flappers and bootleggers ruled the night.

Antheil's compositions are a wild ride of clashing rhythms and unconventional sounds, like a sonic cocktail that's equal parts avant-garde and downright groovy. From the frenetic energy of "Jazz Symphony" to the dreamy nostalgia of "A Jazz Symphony," each track is a musical treasure trove waiting to be unearthed.

The BBC Philharmonic's performance is nothing short of spectacular, with every note played with precision and passion. Storgards conducts with a playful energy that brings Antheil's music to life in a way that will have you tapping your feet and swinging your hips.

Overall, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the vibrancy and excitement of the twenties through the lens of a modern orchestra. So grab your flapper dress, mix yourself a prohibition-era cocktail, and let the BBC Philharmonic take you on a journey through the golden age of jazz. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
