5.0 out of 5 stars SUBLIME SATIE, August 2, 2005
This review is from: Erik Satie: Piano Works (Audio CD)
In no way, shape or form has Satie sounded so metaphysical, so ethereal; in no way, shape or form does the composer's mystical visions receive a more rapt personal approach. In the hands of pianist de Leeuw, the music simply doesn't get more intimate than this. Time stops; the melancholic simplicity embraces; the nurturing repetition--- tres lent---soothes mind, body and spirit. Not a note is out of joint, or misjudged. This is the deepest essence of Satie revealed in a performance so ideal in timing, so uncannily concentrated and distilled, so beautifully recorded, and so fully in accord, as to be, ultimately, perfect.

Difficult to beat Pascal Rogé with Satie, but this disc is very fine indeed.

Pair this disc with Rogé's "After the Rain" After the Rain...The Soft Sounds of Erik Satie

Adequate faux-Magritte cover photo too.
