About
Erik Satie was eccentric and genius rolled into one. And his influence on generations of other composers cannot be underestimated. Here, together with the popular ‘Gymnopedies’ and ‘Gnossiennes’ (all of them), are heard some other lesser-known piano pieces of his. All are well worth exploring, especially in these mesmeric performances by the Dutch pianist, Reinbert de Leeuw.
