Synopsis

Album Description

LTM is proud to announce a new CD in our series by visionary French composer Erik Satie (1866-1925), following the success of previous releases Vexations and Cocteau, Satie and Les Six, and presenting selected Satie recordings with explicit links to the unconventional, the mystic and the avant-garde. Musique de la Rose Croix is a double disc set (94 minutes) of solo piano music comprising Satie's enigmatic Rosicrucian pieces (1891-1894) together with an instrumental version of the ballet score Uspud (1892) and the meditative works collected as the Pages Mystiques (1893). 2006.

CD Reviews

Latin Decadence: Music For An Occult Church

Philippe Landry | Louisiana | 07/10/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The obscure "Uspud" and this recording's versions of "Les fils des etoiles" are worth it alone. "Les fils..." is read true to the slow and subtle Satie fashion, unlike most other recordings where it's just trotted out full-throttle. The addition of a 20 minute "Vexations" is also wonderful and is handled perfectly subtle as well. The "Harmonies" are pleasant little brief phrases lasting no more than 30 to 60 seconds. "Musique de la Rose-Croix" and "Pages Mystiques" are a bit heavy-handed on this disc; I'd look for Satie: The Early Piano Works to get an accurate rendition of these pieces. This is a great package overall. LTM is doing a great job of releasing Satie's work in compilations of thematic context."

SATIE's Ralliement Musique...

Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 06/28/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

".

Satie's "Ralliement" Gothique Musique: the resurgence of interest in Romish mysticism in the twilight years of the 19th Century and the early years of the 20th C.

Really rare art; really nice production: fine, fine CD.
