CD Reviews

Not that slow, please!

Caroline Humbert | Monrovia, CA | 07/07/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Erik Satie's music is etheral, very melodious in its simplicity.

The slow tempo of the majority of his works makes it very relaxing to listen to. But the interpretation of the "Gymnopedies" - especially the famous #1 - by Reinbert de Leeuw is much too slow and ruins the wholesomeness of an otherwise beautiful piece."
