George Antheil (1900-59)
If the public thinks of me at all, it probably thinks of me as the composer of this damned 'Ballet mecanique '. It has become to me what the c sharp minor
Prelude must have become to
Rachmaninov. It is, frankly, my nightmare - in spite of the fact that since 1925, 1 have never again touched the idea of mechanism in music. Compiled and written by MIKE STEER with and CHRIS BARRY. JOHN BADDELEY ALFRED HOFFMAN and PAUL SIRR NANCY HADDEN (soprano) accompanied by MIKE STEER Directed by JOHN POWELL
