Aldo
Ciccolini / Erik Satie –
Piano
Music of Erik Satie, Vol 2
Vinyl LP, Stereo
Angel Records
Some of this music on this album
sounds very music hall. I imagine a lot of drinking and drunks
dancing around the piano and its piano player. Specifically “Le
Belle Excentrique.” Erik Satie is so one with his melodic writings
that it's kind of scary. Aldo Ciccolini is also very much in
Satie's skin while playing his music. He captures the humor but also
understands the specific beauty of the work as well. Dreamy, but
dreamy in a world where one doesn't or can't dream. There is
tension between the two worlds and I am not sure if its Satie or
Ciccolini driving us to that entrance way. Nevertheless beautiful.
