Out of stock


George Antheil’s First and Second String Quartets, performed by the intrepid Mondriaan Kwartet, capture the restless energy and fearless experimentation of early 20th-century modernism. Antheil, often dubbed the ‘Bad Boy of Music,’ rattled audiences with his audacious ideas, and these quartets exemplify his refusal to follow convention. The Mondriaan Kwartet, known for their precision and adventurous programming, bring razor-sharp clarity and commitment to Antheil’s wily scores. Expect jagged rhythms, unexpected outbursts, and passages of striking lyricism—all within a boldly structured framework. The album doesn’t simply revisit history; it invites listeners to experience the raw innovation that made the string quartet a crucible for new musical ideas. For collectors and fans of Western Classical music seeking something outside the staid canon, this recording is a window into the radical impulses that shaped the music of the last century. It’s a testament to the enduring power of creative risk, making it essential listening for anyone who values artistry that challenges as much as it delights.
