Description
With this recording entitled Avant-dernières pensées (Penultimate Thoughts), Alexandre Tharaud aims to serve justice to Erik Satie — the real Erik Satie. Chock full of surprises and humor, Tharaud strives to reveal the coherence between Satie's life and music. Featuring well-known artists such as chanson singer Juliette, violinist Isabelle Faust, pianist Eric le Sage, trumpeter David Guerrier and tenor Jean Delescluse, the LP offers a selection of Duos, many of which are world premiere recordings, besides Satie's solo piano works.
‘My aim in this recording has been to offer the richest possible panorama of Satie’s piano and chamber music, ranging over his whole lifetime… Immersed in the world of Satie, we were touched, often deeply moved by the trust he shows in his interpreters.’ – Alexandre Tharaud
