"Although Satie's orchestral output was dwarfed by the number of his works for piano, it's unfortunate that these compositions have not been recorded more. "Parade" stands out in its use of sound effects (gunshots, typewriter) in addition to conventional orchestra. Bravo to Naxos for allowing us the opportunity to hear these pieces."
A dream!

"This record, a recommendation by Gramophone, is one of the best bargains, even from Naxos.Parade is fun to listen as Gymnopédies in one of the best performances I have heard.Th ballets are bizarre, and the music is so sugestive that you can "see" them.Mr. Kaltenbach makes a correct reading and the Nancy orchestra rises to the top.Bravo!"
Satie is a winner

"These works are a lot of fun. It's rare to find a modern composer that offers such accessible music. Bring your sense of humor."
