It is 150 years since the birth of one of musics most unlikely and eccentric original thinkers, Erik Satie.
His sphere of influence is felt in Debussys Impressionism, Stravinskys Modernism and the Minimalism of Philip Glass et al.
This 6CD set presents Saties Complete Piano music.
The solo works are performed by Jean-Yves Thibaudet with a CD of four-handed piano music performed by Pascal Roge and Jean-Philippe Collard.
