Complete Piano Works 3 on CD

This third volume of Erik Satie's complete solo piano music using Satie scholar Robert Orledge's new Salabert Edition focuses on music composed between 1892-1897, including theatrical scores such as the revolutionary uspud, and the Danses gothiques and famous Vexations written while the composer was hiding from a tempestuous love affair. The period closes with Satie composing in what he called "a more flexible and accessible way withthe final Gnossienne and the six Pieces froides." Recognized at once as a great interpreter of Liszt's music, Nicolas Horvath became in recent years one of the most sought after pianists of his generation. Holder of a number of awards, like the First Prize of the Scriabin and the Luigi Nono International Competitions, he frequently organizes events and concerts of unusual length, sometimes over twelve hours, such as Philip Glass complete piano music or Erik Satie's Vexations.
