Free Music Notes for Satie: 3 Gymnop?dies and Other Piano Works
Free Music Review: Beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a varied and at times peaceful album, performed with exquisite taste. You probably know the Gymnopedies pieces found here. Try the samples, and you may well find you recognize them. Much of the rest of album is equally beautiful, though a few of the pieces, such as Je te veux, are on the light side, and others get rather strident. I suppose some of this was new age music created before there was new age music. The playing is nonetheless very sensitive and deeply soulful. Some of the melodies found here, particularly the Gymnopedies and Gnossienne, are deep and sad and full of emotion.
Bringing up new age music is perhaps a bit misleading as there is a modern, even avant-garde flavor to a few of these pieces. Nevertheless the prevailing mood of the album is quiet and meditative, even if there are a few outbursts of discord or boldly sounded chords in several places. If you don't have them, I would recommend the first three tracks. If you like them, come pick up the rest of the album or at least the Gnossienne series.
