For my taste, no one comes close to interpreting Satie as superbly as Aldo Ciccolini. He plays with such purity, delicacy and feeling, and strength and power when the music calls for it. My favorite Satie compositions are the "Gnossiennes", three of which are included on this record. "Satie escapes all definition and classification". He was truly one of a kind, inimitable, inspiring...there is a corner of my soul that only Satie can satisfy.
Aldo Ciccolini plays Satie
This is so heartbreakingly beautiful I actually fear it. I fear its ability to bring to my memory the past that is gone, love that is gone, people that are gone. This is truly great art. Magisterial emotional punch with no hyperbole.
