My recording of the first part of Satie's Gymnopedies, a captivating piece of beautiful melancholia and serenity.



"Gaze, 
awed but composed, 
a thousand stars shine
in the clear night sky of a red, glowing moon,
illuminating lush, green gardens,
brimming with the fruits of nature, 
and pregnant from the rains 
of bountiful clouds
Follow the wind to where the ocean 
that leads to the end of the earth, begins
Stand, barefoot, facing the rising sun
as the waves caress the sandy shores of evermore
Hold, in your arms, something
greater than the planets, grander than 
the galaxies of the universe
Oh, creation!
Let the world breathe life unto my soul!
Watch, mesmerized,
the sun collapse into earth
and set alight into a magnificent ball of fire
See the ball of fire burst 
into a cosmos with a million bright colors,
rainbows upon rainbows, 
revolving in a great kaleidoscope of awe
Will, that you be the clouds, the waves, the storm, 
the dawn that breaks the thick of darkness,
the changing seasons and the earth that nourishes,
Life,
everlasting,
And everchanging."

Erik Satie - Premiere Gymnopedie

A sorrowful piece by  Remo Giazotto (formerly Tomaso Albinoni).

Tomaso Albinoni - Adagio in G minor

Written in 1890, Debussy's Reverie was one of his first solo piano works to make an impact. Even at this early stage in his career, when he was still working out what kind of composer he wanted to be (he was apparently a fervent debater when it came to Wagnerism), it's clear to see traits of that signature Debussy sound.

However, the young Debussy had not quite developed the style and tricks that would earmark him as one of his generation's most notable talents. There are no fireworks here, no sudden explosions in texture that would come to characterise his later works - this is more of a meditation, the perfect precursor to exploring those later works.

The gently repetitive theme that opens the work feels like a descent into sleepy dream-world (as the title suggests), and as the textures become ever richer the dreams only become more lush and addictive. A fantastic early sign that this Debussy fellow was one to watch…
