Intégrale œuvres pour piano Volume 2

Description

Endlessly creative and innovative, Erik Satie's very first works seem influenced by Chopin's music. Erik Satie quickly rejected virtuosity and tradition to embrace the typically French characteristics related to simplicity, clarity, precision, and elegance. Satie's beautiful, enchanting melodies and the use of modal tonalities are absolutely compelling. These works belong to a bygone classical era associated with a form of Parisian sophistication. This remarkable recording is based on a new and arranged edition of Satie's music. It was made on Cosima Wagner's own Erard piano from 1881, a choice instrument.
