All Great but Recording Quality
I love everything about this CD but the recording quality. It is noisy for such a quiet piece and the dynamics make it very prone to distortion. At low volume this probably is not that noticeable but if you turn it up at all you get a clear white noise(shhhh or woosh) background noise and as volume on the piano goes up you can get a buzzing distortion. This may not be as bad on various equipment but I did want to warn that this is not the greatest of recordings. It also may be somewhat due to the nature of the music itself but I am looking for a better recording of these fine Satie pieces.
Satie the wrong way. 
With Satie's best known stuff, the Gymnopedies and the Gnossiennes, interpretation is everything. Done well, they're fascinating conundrums. This album, unfortunately, is the Hello Kitty version. These are trite, flowery grotesques intended to be background music in soccer-mom vans and church socials.
Put this back on the shelf, wash your hands off and go directly to the Aldo Ciccolini version.

If you enjoy simple accoustic piano arrangements played simply and beautifully you will enjoy this music.Satie has a moody and haunting way with his compositions
