Erik Satie - The Best Of Erik Satie
Review by John Madere
The Best of Erik Satie, an album by Erik Satie, is a collection of some of the most notable works by the French composer. The album features tracks from different periods of Satie's career, showcasing his unique style and innovative approach to music.
The album opens with the famous Gymnopédies, a set of three piano pieces characterized by their tranquil and melancholic melodies. The tracks that follow offer a glimpse into Satie's diverse musical repertoire, including the lively and playful Gnossiennes, the hauntingly beautiful Je te veux, and the experimental Vexations.
Throughout the album, Satie's minimalist and repetitive approach to music is evident, creating a hypnotic and meditative atmosphere. The use of unconventional instruments, such as the xylophone and the harmonium, adds to the album's avant-garde feel.
