SATIE: The Sound of Erik Satie (3 CDs)

The Oldest of the Moderns: Erik Satie, known for his droll sense of humour, moved in the same Parisian artistic circles as Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau und Man Ray. He became a role model for an entire generation of composers, offering French lightness and wit as a contrast to the world of Richard Wagner. His music is as enigmatic as his personality – influenced as much by mysticism as by the glitter of Parisian cabaret.   Erik Satie, known for his droll sense of humour, moved in the same Parisian artistic circles as Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau und Man Ray.
