4.0 out of 5 stars Erik Satie... on accordion..., March 19, 2001

This review is from: Erik Satie Compositeur de Musique (Audio CD)

This CD is a collection of Erik Satie solo piano pieces performed on solo accordion... it sounds like... Erik Satie... on accordion. Which is a good thing! Very tastefully done, Mr. Anzellotti sticks to the written notes without over-interpretation or campiness. Heard on accordion, the pieces take on a uniquely dreamy, nostalgic, and slightly surreal quality, especially the exotic "Gnossiennes." The familiar "Gymnopedie #1" sounds especially lovely in this setting, and the jauntier sections of "Sports and Divertissments" benefit from the playful quality of the accordion. While an hour of solo accordion is a bit much in one sitting, this is a wonderful release for those wanting to hear Satie's music in a refreshing new light. Mr. Satie himself would be pleased, no doubt! (And as usual, the Winter & Winter label outdoes itself with beautiful packaging and design!)

Jules Massenet breaths life into the work of Erik Satie through the senuous, surging outpourings of a spare accordion. Outstanding transciption and recording!
