Philippe Entremont's depiction of Satie's tranquil universe
A collection of performances by a piano poet that pursues the aesthetics of space and silence.
Entremont's delicate touch highlights Satie's characteristically ascetic harmonies and minimalist structures. In masterpieces such as "Gymnopédies" and "Gnossiennes," the purity of their absence of ornamentation stands out, inviting the listener into a meditative world. His interpretation avoids romantic sentimentality and succeeds in presenting the pure sequence of sounds intended by the composer.
