3.0 out of 5 stars Eccentric composer of sublime and mysterious piano music (Gymnopedies, Vexations, Gnossiennes, Sarabandes and Nocturnes), 30 Jul 2007
By Mart Music (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      

Erik Satie, 1866-1925, French.

"The musician is perhaps the most modest of animals, but he is also the proudest. It is he who invented the sublime art of ruining poetry". (Erik Satie).


This Naxos CD is aimed at the beginner or occasional classical music listener and aims to provide a cross section of the entire works of Satie on a single CD of around one hour duration. It's difficult of course to achieve a satisfactory representation of a composer's lifetime achievements in such short time, but this CD does achieve its aim in that it offers an affordable introduction to Satie which may enable the listener to either pursue these works further, or simply to collect the entire Naxos `Best Of' range.

If the intention is to collect the series it will provide a good, although slightly abbreviated, library of classical music. Those requiring further listening are helped by the sleeve notes which give recommended further listening (all Naxos label CD's of course!).

It should be noted that the Naxos 2CD `Very Best Of' releases offer slightly better value than the single CD versions in this `Best Of' series.

That said, this is a good introduction to classical music for those on a careful budget.

The complete Naxos `Best Of' series (those indicated* also have `Very Best Of' releases):

Bach*, Bartok, Beethoven*, Berlioz, Bizet, Brahms, Chopin*, Debussy*, Dvorak*, Elgar*, Faure, Gershwin, Glazunov, Grieg*, Handel*, Haydn, Liszt, Lutoslawski, Mendelsshon, Mozart*, Paganini, Prokofiev, Puccini*, Rachmaninov*, Ravel*, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rossini, Saint-Saens, Schubert, Schumann, Satie*, Shostakovich*, Sibelius*, Strauss (Johann) II*, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky*, Verdi*, Vivaldi*, Wagner, Weber.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really rather fine..., 15 April 2001
By A Customer
I can't claim to be an expert in this field but in my opinion this is a great work. For me Satie excels in his simple and flowing, yet unpredictable music.

4.0 out of 5 stars no thrill, quality record, 6 Feb 2009
By Viktorija Proskurovska (Europe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
when we buy an Erik Satie music CD, we know what to expect, so from that point of view there are no thrills. But the music is wonderful, and I am glad that amazon offers this product.
