3 hours from Jeremy's class two nights ago. Work has gotten quite busy so sorry about tardy updates~ ^___^ Anyone has Erik Satie's whole collection...? is it worth getting? or just the "Best of"s...?
Hi there. I lurk on your blog since I've been a fan of your work since you were posting on conceptart.org, where I used to hang out a lot. Great stuff, I'm always glad when I find a new post. Keep up the amazing work!!
My wife knows a good bit about Satie, so I sent her the question you asked, and here's what she said:
"better to get his piano works than his orchestral works. i think the piano works are better overall. some of the orchestral works get into some real 20th century distracting weirdness. i don't like the selections they chose for his "best of" cd and the complete piano works set didn't get as good a review as some of the other piano cds.
his gymnopedies and gnossiennes are some of his best piano works (imho) and not to be missed. also sports and divertissements is a fun listen. the valses and nocturnes are nice too. all of that is very conducive to background music while working on art. :)
there is a piano works cd with all of that plus a lot more (some of which i have heard and some i haven't) that got good reviews. and i recognize the pianist. it's a lot of bang for your buck.
Satie: Piano Works Erik Satie (Composer), Aldo Ciccolini (Performer)"
Hope that's useful...now that she wrote all that I'm going to have to get some satie for while I'm painting, too!
Nice painting - I dig the bold strokes and the colors...
Coincidently, I have the Ciccolini piano music record - I'm a big fan of the Gymnopedies because it's mellow and minimalistic and mysterious - the rest is weirder and funkier, but kind of fun and cool - nice playing...
i found this blog through shannon tindle and i must say that i'm blown away by the quality stuff here. i will continue to keep looking forward to you postings. take care.
