CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Who would think that Michel Legrand, well known for his movie music and jazz piano playing, would turn out to be such an excellent player of Satie. This spare, often sarcastically humorous music is extremely distant from Legrand's own compositions. Yet he plays the pieces with poise, clarity, and sensitivity to Satie's special world of elegant zaniness. The famous Gymnopédies are here, played ideally at a tempo which is almost too slow. The main complaint against this disc is that it should have had more music (only 54"), but what is here is excellent, and very well recorded. --Leslie Gerber Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSUBLIME SATIE Melvyn M. Sobel | Freeport (Long Island), New York | 08/02/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "In no way, shape or form has Satie sounded so metaphysical, so ethereal; in no way, shape or form does the composer's mystical visions receive a more rapt personal approach. In the hands of pianist de Leeuw, the music simply doesn't get more intimate than this. Time stops; the melancholic simplicity embraces; the nurturing repetition--- tres lent---soothes mind, body and spirit. Not a note is out of joint, or misjudged. This is the deepest essence of Satie revealed in a performance so ideal in timing, so uncannily concentrated and distilled, so beautifully recorded, and so fully in accord, as to be, ultimately, perfect. [Running time: 66:49] " A Fine Satie... Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 03/11/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) ". Difficult to beat Pascal Rogé with Satie, but this disc is very fine indeed. Pair this disc with Rogé's "After the Rain" After the Rain...The Soft Sounds of Erik Satie Adequate faux-Magritte cover photo too. ." A Wonderful CD and a world class arrangement serpico-scriabin | 07/29/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you've never bought a CD by Anders Miolin, you just don't know what you're missing.He is a superb musician. He is unique in his approach to music and in several of his albums he has transcribed the music himself specifically for his twelve-string guitar. I highly recommend this album, in addition to his other albums including:
"The Lion in The Lute" - Berkeley, Britten, Rawathorne, Tippett, Walton. "Heitor Villa-Lobos" - The Complete Works for Solo Guitar." |
