Oeuvres Pour Piano

Description

Sometimes looked down on with condescension, the Frenchman Erik Satie is nevertheless more than a composer: a pianist of overflowing inventiveness, a thinker-philosopher and a humorist. Aldo Ciccolini, the Franco-Italian pianist who died a few months ago and was a discreet virtuoso, contributed greatly to his rehabilitation. This two-CD anthology must be listened to and listened to again, a labyrinth of 98 pieces with surreal airs where the pieces are called Flabby Preludes, Desiccated Embryos, unless they are pear-shaped.
