Georges Antoine (1892 - 1918): Piano Quartet and Violin Sonata

[jdperdrix]

Another Belgian composer absolutely unknown to me. I'm listening to his quartet, strongly reminiscent of Lekeu's works. This quartet was praised by Vincent d'Indy. On the same record the violin sonata, both from 1915-16. Scores available at http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Antoine,_Georges. Also available is a record of "mélodies", which I'll try to find.
No biography in English, I can only redirect to http://www.bayard-nizet.com/Antoine_fr.html, a short bio in French.
