An excellant transcription with thoughtful playing, June 5, 2002
This review is from: Erik Satie (Audio CD)
This is an unusually successful transcription of what may be termed "Erik Satie's Greatest Hits." The alto guitar is a marvelous instrument for Erik Satie's piano compositions. The lower tones and increased sustain make for a convincing transcription. This guitar-and of course, the guitar player-are capable of sustained dark tones that are the essence of Satie.
It is arguable that Satie doesn't really need to be transcribed for guitar, as his music is so obviously suited to the piano for which it was composed. Nonetheless, this recording makes me want to locate an alto guitar to starting examining the magic of this music.

A Wonderful CD and a world class arrangement, July 29, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Erik Satie (Audio CD)
If you've never bought a CD by Anders Miolin, you just don't know what you're missing.
He is a superb musician. He is unique in his approach to music and in several of his albums he has transcribed the music himself specifically for his twelve-string guitar. I highly recommend this album, in addition to his other albums including:
"The Lion in The Lute" - Berkeley, Britten, Rawathorne, Tippett, Walton.
"Heitor Villa-Lobos" - The Complete Works for Solo Guitar.
