i forgot to add, that version of "cinema" is far better than other recordings i've heard. it's a funny piece. kinda philip glass-y (only not annoying)

I really do seem to be accumulating a Satie collection almost without trying -- LTM's just sent their newest, Avant-dernières pensées, which is subtitled 'Selected Piano Works Vol. 1,' so presumably there's more on the way. Tracklisting:
Trois Gymnopédies Gnossiennes 1-7 Je te veux Caresse Musiques intimes et secretes Embryons desséchés Le Piège de Méduse Descriptions automatiques Sports et divertissements Avant-dernières pensées

I was also able to snag a compilation of the Ciccolini recordings on Angel via the Tower implosion last year, so that's been handy for a bit of contrast.

how is that LTM disc, Ned? I'm a little afraid of the performer Goran Borisek, but have only heard other disc disc of his.
electronic spirit of erik satie by camarata, utter classic, full chamber orchestra with the leads played by loud moog. if you like perrey & kingsley and you like satie, you already love this record

Bojan Gorisek recorded the complete piano works of Satie for a label called Audiophile Classics that were released as a 10-CD box set and as individual volumes (I have two of the individual CDs). I suppose the LTM releases are reissues of some of those recordings. The ones I have are not bad - it's nice to hear some of the less familiar Satie pieces, including ones for voice and piano that are more in a cabaret-influenced style.

There's still a link to some of them from the Amazon.uk page:

That family fodder is really good. I like the rhythm at the start of it, when it's just piano.
― bamcquern, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 22:03 (1 year ago) Permalink
I need to get that box you guys talk about upthread. I only have a one-disc piano thing. It's good and long, but too much of it is of those later parodies.
