Composer: Erik Satie
Artists: Håkon Austbö (piano)
The unconventional French composer Erik Satie almost wrote anti-music. In slow motion (and without bars) his well-known Gymnopédies glide past. In other pieces one can hear more than faint echoes form the vaudeville theatre. Played by Håkon Austbø.

#Satie #Classical #BrilliantClassics #Piano #Music #ClassicalMusic - Hudba
it is very sad to know that many musicians of his time criticized his songs negatively talking about the instability of the compositions, when the man created these wonders. We shouldn't give up of our dreams and passions for not being understood by others, sometimes what we do can calm someone's heart years ahead of us
Totally agree.
When what you are composing sets out to mock established composers and their methods, one can expect to be criticizd in return. It seems to me that Satie would not at all have been either taken aback or disturbed by the negative reaction some of his work was encouraging.
@@josephvacanti So he is the punk rocker of classical music? That must be why I like this so much! 💕🤗💕
@@realgabiakagilabear5112 That's a great way of looking at it and spot on. A rebel and a Satie Rotten absolutely.
Its what drives music forward people like him not giving a fuck about what they would think, and risk the ridicule to make works of art.
Satie's own life was up and down, some might say more down than up. He never found lasting love, but tasted it. He never reached widespread acclaim, but worked as a musician. He never won life in the terms that we come to think about, but he left something behind that he achieved in his time on the Earth, before his death at the age of 59 from cirrhosis due to his lifelong heavy drinking. He left behind these sounds. These very sounds that we are taking in. That we would be poorer off without. That the world would be even more unbearable without. Erik Satie, I will visit your grave to thank you for these sounds. For being. For everything.
This is beautiful ❤️❤️
Wow, man. Your words really touched my soul. Thanks for spreading love and empathy 🙏
Excellent post.
This is such a sublime utterance!!!!
You did such BEAUTIFUL---HONOR--- to this poor Human, who lived a poor
miserable, and, infinitely above all, UNFULFILLED HUMAN!!!!
Thank you, for your Courage, inastead of simply---- being selfishly--
-- lazy---- and just not "passing the
page", being "comfortable", and not "putting up a fight" for poor Erik Satie
God bless you and your Loved Ones
ALWAYS!!!!
How exquisitely and eloquently put.
I came to Paris for a trip, this week. I visitted Arcueil, where Erik Satie lived for most of his life.
I stood outside his former home and visitted his grave in the cemetary.
It was surreal. The streets were so quiet. I sat by his grave for a while and soaked it all in: people all around the world, whether knowingly or otherwise, have heard Gymnopedie no.1. Erik Satie's music has reached far and wide, yet here he lies, in a small white grave with a cross on it, framed by some flowers, in a quiet Parisian suburb.
Erik Satie's music makes me feel ways that no other music has, and I will never forget it or this experience.
IIRC here in Britain back in the 1980s Gymnopedie was used for Cadburys flake advert - a brilliant choice
that's how I was in Prague with Kafka's grave. The bus stop right there, the emptiness, the suburb across the street, everyone minding their present affairs. I feel ya!
Sounds brilliant. I love moments like that.@@ceef8688
Bless.
Parabéns .... bela experiência ....
What a good friend is Satie during the hard days of the 2020 quarantine.
I was speaking on the phone with my youngest daughter today and she asked me why my voice kept escalating. I was irritated at my computer when she called; I never came out of that irritation. She said she would call me later when I calmed down. I went immediately to CZcams to Satie and listened to "Gymnopedes" 1-3. This, anything Debussy and a Monet painting. My opioids.
no, no, no... plis, don't confuse, Satie is not your friend, Satie is the person that remake's you your errors, remember you your past and takes it to create a great lapse of mental calm with the most profund despair, it's like a great theater where all the people can see the function, but only you can undertand. the only requirement to hear it is pay atention and interpret all songs, one by one...
@@sashaestrella5914 Yeah but people don't generally treat a depressive mood by trying to cultivate a cheerful one. They tend to want something that reflects their current mood, and thereby come to terms with it. So Satie is perfect.
Exactamente un amigo mio se murio y escuche satie y ahora la cuarentena es un amigo
he's my bestfriend for my hard law's study
Gnossiennes!
no structure. no time signature. no formality. PURE masterpiece
When I was a teenager my mom introduced me to Satie. She had terminal cancer. Life just seemed so unfair and I was soooo angry. This music sort of centers me when I feel like I'm coming undone.
Though never in this situation I can almost feel you. Similar painful errands and life trains connect us. In ways we cannot understand yet
💗
What a gift she gave you. Your mom must have been so lovely to bring this to you at this time. Very sorry for your loss.
She knew you could always find her in his music !
Many, many years ago, after classes, I walked into the usually very crowd and noisy Ratskeller at the University of Wisconsin-Madison students Union. I was upset about having failed a mid-term and worried about the final mark on the subject. As I entered the vast room, I felt all of a sudden, a sense of calm and serenity. Many, attentively reading their texts, others quietly listening to the melancholic magic music effused by the loudspeaker. Since that day, Satie's music has been the sound that accompanies me in the moment's difficulties in life and seems to calm me for any anxieties. By the way, studying in Satie's company,.......... I passed the course with a decent grade.
Great to hear!
I struggle with chronic bi olar disorder and a host of other issues.
Saties music has been the only thing that has ever calmed me from a fit.
The sound seems to reach down within my very soul. Reminding me of what is me... maybe I am alone in this, but he has always been far more effective than any medication. He has always been my lifeboat when everything else in life sinks.
This is not music in the normal sense to me, it is a tether to sanity, understanding, and beauty.
As someone who struggles with bi olar as well. I feel I understand. It’s not just calming but but grounding as well. It creates a baseline (something that feels difficult to reach for myself) which is infinitely helpful when I feel like I don’t know myself
rofl
I don't suffer from bipolar disorder and only know what I've seen and read of it in the media. But I've always found Satie's music to be very centered. Even at his most mischeviois his music never whips around giving the listener emotional whiplash. It's always evenly paced and the middle of a road he himself created. Dramatic highs and plummeting lows do not appear in any of his music I'm familiar with. Stately is another word I'd use for it though there's always a twinkle in his eye. I believe I read him describe his music as 'furniture' music which sounds dismissive but where would we be without furniture ? Sitting on the floor like a bunch of damn hippies that's where. I am sorry to hear about your condition and know at least second hand how traumatic and painful it can be. I hope the right balance of medication and Satie will vanquish it and give you the peace of mind you've struggled so hard for. Best wishes and all the best in the future.
Accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Savior. He can deliver you and heal you from your struggles.
TruthSeeker Now there’s no need to be sarcastic.
man, he was not a strict composer. it sounds like he is napping for milliseconds and comes back with a original sound from the dream world now and then. love it.
I think this is also the work of the pianist
Mmmm there is a touch and sense of Japan in this,
if it so Nasu Nocturne
I have just finished reading Umibe no Kafuka.
Haruki Murakami.
I loved the book, NO love is not the proper word,.
It gave me something that I did not had.
Before reading the book.
The book was a gift.
For my mind my soul.
So it was, and will be forever.
If you are from Japan, I would like to chat with you.
I've heard about this....it's called furniture music.
he was an early example of ambient music
It reminds me of myself, not the music I compose but just the raw feeling of loneliness... I feel so disconnected from the world and when I listen to this I hear a man who deals with the same struggles I do
magnificently said, tremendously appreciated
Me too. You perfectly capture how I feel
Thanks for your honesty. You are indeed connected, my friend. Again, thank you.
Love Satie. After I got my bachelors of music, I got a cat and named her Satie. She lived for 17 years. Love Satie (Erik and my cat in his namesake).
Bachelors of Music sounds interesting
she lived so long as a cat. what a cat. you took care of her so well for sure.
So cute!
Erik Satie was born in Honfleur on May 17, 1866. Satie’s father was French and her mother was English of Scottish origin. Erik was entrusted to his grandfather and uncle. He learned music with Guilmant and later at the Conservatory, however, he hates the teaching practiced in schools.His first composition published in 1887, mention op. 62, attracts the fury of academics. He joined the Rosa Cruz sect, before founding the metropolitan church of Jesus Condutor. At 26 years, he presented his first candidacy for the Academy but failed to succeed. He frequents the cafés of Montmartre as a pianist, where he meets Debussy with whom he becomes friend. At 40, he became a Schola student, where he studied counterpoint with Roussel and obtained a diploma with the classification of “Very Good”. He became friends with Cocteau, Diaghilev, Picasso and later Milhaud and the musicians of Group of Six. Her solitude was in proportion to his big heart ,his delicate sensibility. He died in total poverty on July 1, 1925. He composed three operettas, five ballets,15 melodies, small pieces for orchestra, pieces for piano, etc.
The freedom of composition characteristic of his work translates a melody of an amazing harmony that invites us to reflect on life in a calm and melancholy way. His music is incomparable and gives us an immense sense of freedom, not bound by rigid rules or norms. The harmony is fabulous, but always with a certain sadness that hangs in the background.
The pianist and his superb performance are outstanding. Viva the great music of this amazing and fantastic composer.
Gracias
Благодарю за академическую справку о композиторе! Было очень интересно прочитать! Я не знало о сущществании Сати. Хотя некоторые его произведения слышала. Теперь я знаю, кто их автор. Спасибо еще раз!!!
You are absolutely right thanks lot love freedom and love piano and love Satie
You saved me from going to Wikipedia
Sa première (dé)composition, Allegro, date de 1884.
listening to this while doing chemotherapy
it's calming but at the same time really empowering, exactly what I need to get through tough times
i wish you luck
stay strong my dear, sending energy and a hug.
How has life been doing, friend?
@@Luca-gz3zj I finished chemo and did two surgeries, I might be pulling through
Stay strong! You will be OK ;)
Pause to consider how well this player, Hakon, captured the spirit of Satie's music. Best renditions I've heard anywhere
100% agree. The pacing is perfect. Every other version is too fast.
The voicing and tempo are spot on! Very important in Satie's work
I wrote this poem for Satie :
The piano prayer -
The piano listens, and
in the words of its quiet thunder,
a distance is wrapped in fingerprints.
Left ringing in my ears,
I hear their chambers of sense,
like drops falling on another’s skin.
Running into the arms of sensation,
sounds of fingers praying on human stone,
fingers falling on resonating lives.
Chambers of intricate fusion
and notes drawn from silence
are torn from the uncoiling rocks of symbols.
This is beautiful
@@wind_reader Thanks! Still doesn't do him justice.
Wow that's an awesome poem ✅ 😄
Writing poetry is a hobby of mine too, we should get in touch 😄
Your poem, like so much of Satie’s music, has brought me to joyous tears! Another … Human Being is out there in this cold lonely void, eyes blinking, heart beating and alive! Thank you so so much! 💗
does anyone else find the sarabandes extremely calming? like a slow massage when your body is really sore or when you get into a warm bathtub when you're feeling really cold
Finally, someone who plays these songs slowly enough.
Agree! I love his interpretation. Sounds so tue to the composer’s intent, at least to me.
Agreed, slowly and in varied volume...those gentle chords are mesmerizing.
Satie shared his gift with the world...May we all be so brave to share ours.
The meaning of life is to find your gift. . . The purpose of life is to give it away. . . Blessings. . .
The philistines of this world don't deserve my creations
I really enjoyed listening to this Erik Satie's masterpieces, I wish I could still listen to this even when im dead.
Håkon Austbø is an excellent pianist. One of the reasons everyone is enjoying this so much is because he is playing it so well.
Yes! For sure! I’ve listened to other versions of Satie’s work but Austbø just captures this certain mysterious depth of feeling so well…I can’t put it into words but he is so careful and particular with his notes, so exact, the sounds are precise and yet they melt into each other in this lovely way. it’s sublime.
Yes, after listening to other pianists botch Satie's music, it's such a relief to listen to Austbø. I can just revel in the magic of it and not have complain about how the pianist doesn't understand what Satie wrote.
True! 👏👏👏

I don't care what you think either, you worthless little mongrel mudblood 😁
It's like this music is already somewhere deep in my soul and when I listen to it, it comes out.
For me, no one can tell a story without words as beautiful as Satie can.
Rob Zombie
You can say this about all the great composers. Anyway, maybe, Satie's talent is still underrated.
In my opinion, Erik Satie’s music is the most beautiful, powerful, and emotional of all French Impressionist art. Not only that, it’s deceptively difficult to play!
00:24:38 Gnossiennes 1-3 (1890): No. 1.... How can you compose something so simple yet so eerie, melancholic, and beautiful at the same time? This has been on repeat for the past 2 hours, I still can't stop listening...
Whats the name of this part by itself?
yep it is raining here to
One of the most interesting interpretations have heard... masterfully played...
Same here, mate. That's the part from an amazing video called ' Once upon a time in Paris' that brought me here.

Erik Satie - Gnossienne No.1
He died poor but his music will forever be rich
His music enriched us!
True words ! His music will live on for a long time . Not even money could bring peopel to love you`re music for such a long time
he liked to much drinking ,, he was seek because the alcoolism problem ,, but he was a great genious ,, a great romantic ,, he was so sensitive ,, his music make remember me my love story whit beautiful girls ,, so far away ,, vaporous pictures ,, a sweet dream ,, like an ephemeral caress ,, an unreal movie ,, thanks so much maestro satie ,,
His music speaks French.
I bet he never minded not having this kind of wealth
Something i love about Satie's piano works is that you can tell from the first phrase if the pianist "gets it". Austbo does a tremendous job, one of the best I've heard.
Satie's interesting concept of listening to the silences between the notes - to me this feels like travelling through space and time of musical sounds and silence.
Absolutely agree! It has that same experience for me as well.
Satie was an alcoholic and had only one relationship. They found two grand pianos in his home, one stacked on top of the other. He wasn't even a good piano player in technical terms. But man could he portrait emotion like no other. Satie is awesome.
Your comment is very stupid. shut up and listen to the music
@@pingazzo It's a great comment, it gives insight to the person Erik Satie was and teaches us that we ALL can stack a piano on top of another. Honestly, that's just good live advice.
If the opportunity ever arises one should always stack a piano on top of another, just as a general rule
portray*, but 2 pianos isn't enough. I heard Beethoven had 3.
)ther oddities: he founded the "Metropolitan Church of Jesus Christ the Conductor"; once he came across a small inheritance and had seven suits made, all identical in dark grey velvet; a suit for each day of the week. he slept in a hammock...
This feels like a tender touch, not too soft, but rather, it feels unpredictable but still feels like genuine emotion. Not the type that you want to do, you want more but still, you let it happen because it just feels right.
One of the best composers I've ever heard, His music makes me sad and happy at the same time, no other composer can create that feeling.
gnossienne means lent, and anybody who has ever fasted religiously knows the feeling of fulfillment that comes from that achievement. It is a sort of gray joy, and Eric satie captured it beautifully in those pieces. They are very nostalgic for me even though I only discovered them this year, because they remind me so much of our lenten evening services and eating plain Naan at 9 right after getting home for the fist and only meal of the day. If you are not religious no worries, just got excited to see you describing that beautiful humble happiness that Eric satie (who did his fair share of fasting) captured in the gnossiennes so well.
Just came across this... I have been haunted by Satie since my teenage years and now 77. I still play and Satie is perhaps my favourite. Such an exploration emotionally every time I play.
Same. Same...Satie is in my soul...
Very intense execution by the pianist. No rush, high sense of dynamic control, immersive musical experience. Bravo Håkon Austbø, Satie & me love your artwork.
Post Scriptum: Satie is a magician
I'm using Gnossiennes 1 for my figure skating program..... It's just speaks to the movement of soul and body.
A composer who stops me in my tracks...ever since I played his Gnossiennes especially No 1 which has a haunting resonance. It inspired to write a little piano piece before my teens!
The whole collection comprises of little gems, each with their own delicate beauty....of mystery and a sorrowful happiness. I’m totally bewitched! Me veo completamente hechizada!
The gnossienns are my favorite peices of all time, the name means lent and is very nostalgic for me since it captures the sadness of lent mingled with the joy and labor of fasting, and the feeling of achievement you get eating you first meal of the week on Tuesday or Wednesday. Bread tastes so good when you are hungry, that feeling of wholesomeness is so lovely, and Eric satie nails it down, listen to this all the time.
I fell asleep listening to this and I kept hearing bits in my dreams. it was really weird. I would be in the middle of doing something in my dream and then I would look over and someone would be playing piano. Everywhere I went someone was playing piano. Pretty cool
woah.
That's why I always listen to music and other things to fall asleep. It strongly influences what you dream about.
Ahhh,.........the dreams that dreamers dream, sometimes.
spooky
sounds great!
Brilliant. So pure...like water.......... and peaceful.
I’d say this more like sheets of silk, Ravel is like water

Mako Vette a
Mako vette you are a hero withaut capa jeje . Thanks friend
Thank you!
Mako Vette You didn’t translate “Encore” (“again” in french)
Also, gymnopédie means "barefoot"
I like this interpretation of the Gnossiennes. One of the cool things about them is that they're so loosely-structured, you have a lot of freedom as a pianist to play with them and create a certain feeling. Even the tempo can be wildly different between interpretations.
I listen to this once a week. It fills my heart with a deep and peaceful sadness, but gives me the strenght to keep on going.
I find the Gymnopédies so relaxing, and the Gnossiennes beautifully unsettling. How lovely and strange this music is.
Funny, I find the Gymnopédies to be a little melancholy.
No.1's called "slow and painful", no.2 is "slow and sad", and no.3 is "sad and serious"... Melancholy they be.

Erik Satie is a world unto himself. Whimsical. Sad. Profound.
Franchement, rien de complexe dans cette musique mais que de beauté et de poésie !
beautifully said
In the modern world he'd be called a basement dwelling incel and promptly decimated in the court of public opinion.
@@_Nobody_Special I can't believe there's people like who are this stupid and can't appreciate good music...
Indigo Wendigo I enjoy Satie a great deal. The point I was trying to make was that he pretty much lived the life of a hermit. Mainstream opinion is not often kind to loners, even when they are highly gifted.
Gnossienne No. 1 must be among the most lush and gorgeous piano compositions ever to have been conceived. Forever associated with the superbly and knowledgeably presented pieces on the history of technology by James Burke, thankfully still with us. Thank you so much for your care and efforts.
Thank you for posting this. Satie's music sounds so sensitive, intelligent, humble and curious to me. Also, this may be one of the finest comment sections I've ever come across.
eat a large one
Yes to your comment on the comments. I've been reading them while listening, feeling enriched and moved by the heartfelt contributions, sensitivity and kindness. Satie's spirit pervades...
I feel his music attracts sensitive kind deep souls. . . So glad to be here amongst all my peers. . . I feel very blessed. . .
A winter's chill, grey sky blinding the windows, dancing branches with the swirling wind, wood burning inside the hearth, book on the carpet with reading glasses resting, and I am curled beside with the fusion of trance and magic that is Erik Satie. A deep restful sleep.
its not so far away....
i'm in love...r u married?
Sleeping with the hearth burning? Are you alright?
You have the soul of an artist.
What a beautiful image.
Gymnopedie 1 is so pure and peaceful - I used to have it as my wake up alarm music
How on earth could wake up to that?
I would have fallen asleep again with you in my arms ;-)
It's mine too! 😊
I remember when I first discovered Satie. I can't remember how I stumbled upon his music, but I remember the vivid feeling of being so grateful to be able to hear his genius. That feeling is just as vivid today.
I see beauty in absence, the spaces left empty between things which are concrete and definable. Perhaps this is because I believe there is more to us than what we are, what we can touch and feel and see. We transcend and expand beyond our physicality into a realm occupied by thought and ideas, consciousness. There is a barrier between those two parts of ourselves, we reside on the material side, and the mystery of that verge is the realm of art - the human struggle to understand our second, immaterial face, insofar as our limited capacities allow.
Satie understood that. You can hear it in the best of his works, The shadow of our ephemeral aspect dwells in the space between the notes he charted.
ya it’s some super good music for sure lol
not sure thinking that deeply helps anything
Profound, Prolific
"Lent et douloreux"
As a believing person, I always search for Silence of G-d. In That Silence, one is One with Life. Surely Erik knew this, as his music is build along on Silence. This music I heard the first time while suffering from a depression. The silences, where moments of Freedom, from the mineur I was in. It helped me a lot.
EXACTEMENT .... BIEN RESSENTI et BIEN DIT .... !
One of my favorite composers to perform; his work is technically challenging in its simplicity. I'm forever lost somewhere between ecstasy and sadness when playing his work.
Totally agree, favourite pianist, and as he got older his work became more eccentric due to his illness. Absolutely brilliant
thank you for truth about this pice
"somewhere between ecstasy and sadness" - sounds a lot like nostalgia.
Perfect description!
Powerful words, my friend. Thanks for sharing.
It’s just so random. The tunes change every so often, and it’s what makes it unique. The key changes and everything
The silence between notes of piano make me feel reflexive. Satie is pure sensibility for the heard.
A longtime favorite of mine The Gymnopedies and Gnossiemes.the pianist is superbly delicate and competent.SUPERB!!Thankyou.
j'ai toujours adoré satie , compositeur minimaliste , qui jouait autant du piano du piano que de la bouteille , mais une personne sincère , un artiste incorruptible , et quelles notes de piano prodigieuses
When you have that gift to compose and interpret melodies like these, you have the gift of going inside our deepest feelings, touching them, caressing them, waking them up, shaking them and simply discovering them, Erik Satie, you can label them as the teacher that helps them best of one this to flower of skin
True,this music comes directly from magic 'cause its beauty
This is the best version of Gymnopédie i found on You tube ! 😍
Bonjour de France les amis ✌😉👍🇫🇷
Some years ago I fell into the pit of depression, the abyss. I traveled every week to another city to meet with psychologists and to do a test that later, would point out that I am autistic. I have always being a very curious and imaginative person, I guess that's why I chose physics as my profession... but, in those years, I felt... nothing. There was a void inside me and I felt like an old shell, doing extra time on Earth. My passions died out and the flames of my heart were weakened. I lost important relationships and, what is most curious, I didn't even care about it. Despair and emptyness killed me, nothing else mattered. This music made my eyes tear up at those weekly travels, the closest I ever got to feel anything at all. I solved the questions some time later however. I reduced every doubt to absurdity. I'll enjoy what I got while I still have them.
S/O introduced me to him and I fell in love. Now we play it for our unborn child and she always wiggles toward wherever the phone is lol
What beauty, what purity. he leads us into his surprising universe where each note is unexpected and unavoidable. Melancholy and haunting rhythms go straight to the heart. Absolute genius.

Yes, most composers I find are predictable, you kinda know what the next lines or phrases will sound like, and where they are going. Satie is such a deliteful surprise, takes you to sweet mysterious unexpected places. . . What joy. . .
I suffer from around 4 different mental and personality disorders, as well as synaesthesia, but it's my favourite three composers: Scriabin, Szymanowski and Satie that have given me a sense of purpose. They also help to compose my own classic music, in the late romantic/early 20th century of course. Many thanks for posting.
... and you also have excellent taste in music, Daniel x
@@theflexibletechnologist4970 Thank you. I only listen to classical music, and nothing else. Nothing beats it. All this modern day rubbish I cannot stand, and do not even understand why my fellow young generation even listen to it.
@@DanielRoyce , I play some guitar and am learning the Villa-Lobos preludes - do you know them? Try Julian Bream's interpretations
@@theflexibletechnologist4970 I have not heard of them, but I will give them a go. I have however just posted on my channel my own classical composition as well as two piano pieces that I was playing last year. Would be interested to hear your thoughts, especially on my composition.
@@DanielRoyce That is just very close minded, in my opinion. The only thing I cannot stand is pop music not only for being the opposite of original, but in the way it is formated... All so fake.... The "musicians", playing this characterised version of themselves to play into the layman's dream, even those with a bit of talent not even composing their own music, but let other most professional ghost writers compromise their own knowledge and work. And the people buy it as if there is any substance to it at all.
But overall? I think with the way different musical worlds are structured, sometimes it's hard to see them for what they are. The value in music is not singular, and when we subscribe to one it is hard to see the others.
Music is a much more abstract concept than we'd like to imagine, especially in the classical world. We can obscure our musical ideas or present them very organised, we can give meaning to our music through its message our simply its inspiration.
Until not recently I was blinded too. I grew up on blues music, it's the opposite of classical music - not through-composed and in the moment/improvised.
Now over the years somehow I've come into the world of metal, which though a broad genre and directly derived from the blues, is most of the time, just like classical music - through-composed and non improvised. It's not only those factors which divide the music world but still, I am not telling you, you should begin to like other music but know your meaning to music is different to others and yours does not apply to every genre.
I hope you read this, and if so do not take offence. It was not meant as a personal attack. Rather was I trying to give some thought on how I see things and hopefully open your mind to the possibility of new music.
I've only heard about him, and he genuinely helps me study, sleep, and just overall calm me down.
What a rare joy it is to find a recording of beautiful music on CZcams that hasn't been utterly sodomized with sickeningly incessant, thoroughly aggravating and totally unnecessary advertisements. I love it!
best thing ever happened to youtube.
music**
mankind* :)
:D
youtube was the best thing that happened
nothing like starting a workday with the entire Satie's Gymnopédies & Gnossiennes
This is the very sound of the world turning round... from now into the future...endlessly...
♡
How poetic!
Thank you...I came across Satie's music by accident and I felt so inspired....
It’s hard to believe this music was written in 1880-1890s, could as well be a recent modern classic
well its in the 1800s so impressionism and romanticism.
Whenever I listen to Satie's music, this piece in particular, it gives me hope. And seeing so many people on here enjoying it too, makes me feel as if I'm not alone. It's certainly the perfect way to start your day.
Satie's music is all so haunting, yet so beautiful and dreamlike. When I'm tired, I can feel my mind drift to it, its so peaceful and helps me sleep soundly.
His gymnopedies and gnossiennes are very emotional, I feel it deep in my soul
For me, Satie's music is the composer's soul stripped of all pretense. No other composer touches me so deeply.
The only composer that can successfully relax me and get in me in a cozy, sleep mood. Rest his soul
Wow, he truly is the father of Impressionism and even modern music. Very ahead of his time, and such delicious works too. 👍
This is really good. Surprised I haven't heard this dudes name thrown around before.
He can recreate a warm uncertainty, like butterflies in my stomach. Like the sudden realization that I witnessed a beautiful thing in the midst of tragedy.

Satie es la definición musical de la melancolía, como decia Víctor Hugo: "la melancolía es la dicha de estar triste". Asi se siente Satie.
Scents of oranges fill up my nostril when I listen to this. I miss you.
He is one of my favourite composers. Defiantly lived far from his reality ....His music comes from his inner world.
I love Satie. I find his pieces haunting, beautiful and profound. Please feel free to comment on my content, spelling or whatever. I want to celebrate the outstanding talent of this man. Outstanding, x.
Nothing like a fat pug sleeping in your lap while listening to Satie!
His works is so pure!
Actually sometimes I just want to be alone , and his music just stay with me❤
For me, this music's gentle tenderness penetrates the walls we build around our selves to protect us from the slings and arrows in life, to reach deep into the human soul if we're able to allow it. If not able to allow - then let the notes go were they will.
This is the best version on here that I've found. Everyone rushes it or just doesn't play it the way I enjoy it. Bravo.
Satie‘s music is a great tranqulizer for the mind, and unrivaled
These Sarabandes are some of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. They never fail to compell me.
For me, this is the greatest pianist of all time.
Gave us and left a lot of masterpieces!
This guy was an absolute genius. Really stellar music, so mysterious and melancholic. All his works give off a beautiful vibe that's very difficult to name...
This is like silk...
As "millennial" and "bleeding heart" as I am, as so many are quick to assume, I still adore Satie's work and always have done, be it through traditional routes or film or otherwise. Having recently finished my sound engineering degree (which is neither here nor there), I still feel the same way I felt as a small child. Don't get me wrong, my childhood was fantastic for me personally, maybe not so much for my single mother of three children, but once again that's neither here nor there. Satie has always instilled this obscure sense of belonging (that I feel I don't deserve) in me, and I feel that this expression is echoed throughout my peers, potentially less eloquently so. I mean the man essentially invented minimalism so the assumed snide remarks enforce my point even further. I suppose what I'm saying is, in a world of "constant" synapse overload, A lot of young people are internally screaming for an outlet that someone like Satie can provide. Forgive me for this essay style comment but I just needed to put (at least) something out there.
I feel this too. The world seems to love everything so quickly. I am very young too and enjoy the slower style of Satie. Not just because it is relaxing, but it also feels feels very real. Like every note or chord truly means something, was intended, and has emotion.
Ya there is a direct line from Satie to Brian Eno and ambient music. I think most of us could use a bit of time to be and think. The problem is when i listen to great music, I tend to start analyze it and can't think about anything else. It's the reason I can't listen to music before I go to sleep.
Too long to read, because I'm too busy listening to this great music...
@@QoraxAudio I'm slowly learning to adopt this mindset :L
@@ChazShinRa You should try playing records. You know, the actual, physical records. They're a bit of a hassle, but they are more engaging.
There's more incentive to actively listen a record from start to end, compared to some randomly streamed track that tends to be used as background noise.
Satie is the only music that can truly calm me down and bring peace to my soul
I usually listen to metal but I've never been closed to other styles/genres and this is from another world. Simply amazing
Metal is shit.
Satie's music is so contemplative it inspired me to contemplate what Master Sherpa said a while back.My mind just drifts so easily along on Satie's lovely spare melodies. Now quiet, then insistant, warm & close & intimate then flitting away on sly modulations from key to key; major to minor, circling lazily as a leaf in a stream. So summery! So shimmery. So lovely!
Beautiful comment, you made me pick up my instrument and play along.
Literally my most favorite album to listen to when I do errands.

Like, ohmigod, literally....
My most literally album for making listenings.

This man was Genius!
When I was growing up my mother taught piano. And sometimes when she was listening to some work done by a certain artist, she would cry. Like real tears, how could it bring tears? Just piano no lyrics nothing…. Me being a child I didn’t understand….. Tonight I heard a piece by Erik Satie in the movie November man. It immediately caught my attention. I said I have to look that up. After 35-40 years later, I now understand my mothers reaction to the music. Erik Satie bestows so much emotion upon me. I feel the weight. The release of pressure when he lifts you up, the heaviness when he brings you back down. I am in awe! Needles to say I still haven’t watched the rest of the movie….
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser einzigartigen Meisterstücke im lyrischen Tempo mit klarem und zugleich anmutigem Klang sowie sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Danke fürs komplette Hochladen dieser zwei Meisterwerke mit möglichst hoher Tonqualität!
Graceful, gorgeous, brilliant in it's own quiet way. The harmonies of the Sarabandes still send a shiver up my spine 45 years after I've first heard them. Satie was a pure, a true musician. As his teacher D'Indy once said "He was profoundly musical." Hakon Austbo performs these pieces with poetry and superb technique. The pieces may look simple but having grappled with them I know they require first-rate musicianship.
Tom Furgas n
I thought he was a composer first and musician afterwards..
Absolutely, they recreate the perfect tempo for these pieces.
"brilliant in ITS own quiet way". No apostrophe. All this assuming that IT is the music, because if you meant Satie, then it's "HIS own quiet way".
shut the fuck up
Gnossiennes are so beautiful!
When I listen to these masterful pieces, they induce me to calm down, not sadness.
I luv Satie's world… from Japan.
I've always loved playing Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1 as it reminds me of saying goodbye but in a pleasant, "until next time" kind of way. I recently went through a bit of a heartbreak and when I was playing this on a piano at a coffee shop, I suddenly couldn't stop the tears from coming because I felt I was saying goodbye to someone in a very different way now... I only just now saw the tempo marking for the piece in the track list (it's not on the sheet music I have): "Lent et douloureux", or "Slow and sorrowful"...
What a wonderful gift...or curse...to be able to play in such away that you are moved by your own music. I can move myself to be happy but not the other way around. The curse...gift...of a banjo. :)
Joseph Fernando "Lent et douleureux" actually means Slow and Hurtful.
'Douleur' is pain, so "slow and painful/slowly and painfully"
you silly...
That s just semantics it's up to the interpretor of the song to find his own meaning behind the strange Satie's notes
Far away the best interpretation.
Search to listen this for years, and that's it.
I think they are generally played too slowly on this album. They plod a little bit to me.
Reminds me of a beautiful yet somewhat poignant memory that i will never be able to relive.
Satie's existential and professional path, often punctuated by suffering, rarely kissed by public approval, is common to many artists, the price to pay for being a channel that transposes Beauty from the dimension of the Absolute to that of space/time. We all must be grateful to Satie, to Art and, ultimately, to God for the possibility we are given enjoying the gifts of Beauty.
