Synopsis

Album Description

LTM is proud to present a new CD in our series by visionary French composer Erik Satie (1866-1925), following the success of previous releases including Vexations, Socrate and Dada Works, which present selected Satie recordings with explicit links to the unconventional, the mystic and the avant-garde. Avant-Dernières Pensées: Selected Piano Works features several of Satie?s best known compositions, including the famously poised Trois Gymnopédies, all six haunting Gnossiennes and Je te veux, as well as more experimental pieces such as Descriptions automatiques, Avant-dernières pensées and Sports et divertissements, an extraordinary collection of 21 miniatures from 1914 with illustrations by Charles Martin. Also included is Satie?s single-act, neo-Dada lyric comedy Le Piège de Médusa, comprising ?seven tiny dances for Jonah the Monkey? and illustrated by the Cubist painter Georges Braque. The 46 pieces on this 72 minute CD are performed by pianist Bojan Gorisek. The booklet includes archive images and detailed liner notes by James Hayward.

CD Reviews

Nice New Satie Set on LTM label from UK...

Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 09/23/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

".

LTM continues its superior Satie issue with brilliant Slovenian pianist Bojan Gorisek. Rare for Amazon now, included critical comments on item web page gives pertinent data.

Will only add that after much audition of several slightly differing interpretations by various artists, have come to realize that Satie--like Chopin--requires a very specialized insight for superior performances: meaning, some pianists "get" Satie, and some really don't.

In this case, Gorisek gets him big-time with deeply insightful readings which really "see" Satie's unique vision: ebb and flow; forte et piano; architechtonics of melodic structure, etc. Satie's subtle art requires the superb vision and execution which Gorisek brings.
