My Son Nick Died this year of Pancreatic Cancer. (43) He played many of these pieces on his piano, and adored many of the French Composers. Ravel, Debussy, and of course Satie. Music was his life!
I really start to appreciate the comment sections of classical music. Everyone's just kind with one another and appreciating beautiful music. Thats rare these days
Those burdened with genuine natural skill and/or talent often do not lead happy lives. I feel it's because inside they have a something others do not which allows them to create beauty or have original thoughts, while at the same time requiring a lonely soul as the vessel of that ability. So many amazing artists, musicians, inventors, painters etc.. had very troubled lives. I think it's simply because they understand something others do not, and that perspective is a lonely one. It's a viscous circle I think. The interesting thing is in a large portion of all classical music, there is an aire of sadness or lonesome wandering.
@@shadowk3 As Neil Peart put it: "I hear their passionate music Read the words that touch my heart I gaze at their feverish pictures The secrets that set them apart When I feel the powerful visions Their fire has made alive I wish I had that instinct I wish I had that drive... It's cold comfort To the ones without it To know how they struggled How they suffered about it If their lives were exotic and strange They would likely have gladly exchanged them For something a little more plain Maybe something a little more sane" - Rush, "Mission"
Eric Satie was pure genius, and I do not use that term often. His music was timeless, which is one of the hallmarks of a musical genius. If his compositions were first played today, he would be revered for his originality. Pretty amazing considering he died in 1925! I love the simplicity and how he uses dissidence so well inside melody.
musical geniuses are always ahead of their time, this doesn't sound old in any way. I listen to a lot of classical, but I like Satie because it has a modern flair to it.
you mean *dissonance - Dissidence is unrest, protest, etc. The English language is a bitch. No wonder its the most difficult language to attain real fluency in, it's full of homonyms and things like this.
This has the most unique interpretation of Gnossienne No.1 I've ever heard, and I've literally heard hundreds of them. This pianist *truly* knows how to play "du bout de la pensée"!
I live in Portugal. Many condos and houses (including mine) have blackout shutters. I often darken the room, get comfortable and listen to Satie. It's a highlight of my day.
I listen to this everyday, probably the only set of adorable compositions that doesn't make me sick. It makes me feel like I'm watching myself playing alone at the backyard while is raining.
I love you all, best of wishes!!! I find these pieces of Satie as these confounded relatives, they always come undesired to know better but they always bring a sort of adventure, a way or another, a very truthful adventure at this case!!!! Sending love!! And wishes of better days!!!!!
And if you have no rainy weather to enjoy it with try this which features a few of the tracks with the paintings of a a rainy Paris. .... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_fuIMye31Gw.html
I'm lying in my bed, while horrible migraine is storming through my head, with the only desire to die. Listening to this provoked tears of sudden relief and calmness. Thank you Mr. Sattie
Moi aussi j'ai des migraines. Cest horrible et cette musique de monsieur Satie vraiment calme déjà le corps et plus profondement et ce que importe vraiment,l'âme
For people who are in pain, physically or emotionally, Satie can soothe your heart, your body and your mind… it certainly helps me to find a little peace meanwhile it reminds me that I’m alive, and sometimes it is just fair to feel pain.
Oh dear, I'm chagrined to say that today is the first I've heard of Erik Satie--I'm feeling sooo uncultured. But as they say, better late than never. Loved his music in this video, but I'd like to explore more of his works. Judging from I just what I finished reading in Wikipedia, it seems he lived alone all of his life, save one short love affair he had with an artist's model, who after about six months left him So sad, but not many of us with the happiest of lives are able to leave a legacy of compositions for the generations to come.
I am very sorry to experience such a significant loss in your life. You were fortunate to be able to fill a time with experiences and that today are your memory. Music transcends sensations and is in the memory forever.
C'est magnifique, cette musique dégage une telle sérénité, un tel apaisement, qu'on se laisse bercer, dériver vers des lieux célestes, ne pensant plus à rien et laissant juste nos sensations s'épanouir.
To say that Satie didn't want this... that's ridiculous. Virtually everything about Satie's works he left open to interpretation, intuition, and experimentation. As an experimentalist, Satie would have loved this.
This playlist helped me get through college and my masters degree while I did homework. Now I come back to it when I need to work after hours on projects. Truly grateful for it
I was introduced to satie works thru the radio. One day I was riding to school with my father, a classical music fanatic, after the radio man said now for gymnopiedie no 1 by eric satie from that point on I was in love with all of his pieces, while gymnopiedie no1 remains my favorite all of his pieces bring a Sence of euphoria and relaxation no other composer can tap.
Looked around Eric Satie's house in Honfluer a week ago - strange, quirky, but atmospheric building full of his mementos, music & musings including an electronic white Yamaha piano playing Gymnopedie as if his ghost was there in the room. Glad we made the effort as I would have been disappointed not to have visited it.
¡¡¡ERIK SATIE: MAESTRO DE LOS MAESTROS!!! SU "GIMNOPEDIE" ES UNA DE LAS MÚSICAS MÁS BELLAS QUE ESCUCHÉ EN MI VIDA. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR ACERCARME AL CIELO!!!
Gnossienne No.1. I don't get tired of listening to it. It makes me feel so many emotions... sadness, happiness... I'd like to learn how to play the piano just for playing this magnificent piece of music. What would have thought Eric Satié when he composed it?
lots of classical music or music that makes use of classical instruments is played in films so unconsciously many people are enjoying this kind of music.
Films are the last stop for many of the classical sounds. Many film composers do indeed utilize a lot of those sounds. That is the closest many people get, but that is sad, because while I love many film scores, there is a lot of other great music out there that doesn't have a movie attached to it that they will miss.
Satie has haunted me for years. There is something morose in all of his works which just screams that the sadness will last forever but at the same time says that you are smarter than the paradox that you create.
Even if you're not a fan of classical music, you simply must listen to Satie, Ravel, Debussy et al. They are to their period as the Beatles were to theirs: timeless. This is a gorgeous collection and the artwork is spectacular.
I just want you to know how grateful I am for these videos. I work in an aged care centre and these videos help a lot with calming some of them down, particularly the ones who are living with dementia. You really are making their lives easier, and it's making my job easier too. So thank you!
I find that pieces of beautiful music such as Gymnopédie No.1, Barber's Adagio for Strings, George Winston's Winter and many of the great works by film composers like Ennio Morricone, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Joe Hisiashi and John Barry and so, so many others are the soundtracks to so many of the beautiful, poetic, poignant and often heartbreaking posts that accompany these beautiful songs. If nothing else, the internet and RU-vid have made available such beauty to all who have ears to hear, hearts to feel and tears to shed and in doing so allows us each to know and to say that we do matter and life in the end is a beautiful mystery.
I've been looking for Gnossiennes No. 1 for so long and now that I've found it, it sounds like I'm remembering good days while laying in a flower field as the wind peacefully passes by and gently touches my face.
Silencio,..el aire respira profundemte, Me lleva a lugares desconocidos, Hermosos,mágicos... Cuando escucho la magia de este ser humano y su instrumento, desaparezco por completo,y a la vez,soy todo.
La música.., al igual que muchas otras expresiones de arte, gustan o no..., movilizan o pasan inadvertidas..., dejan su marca o se esfuman de nuestros registros..., y eso es lo grande de la naturaleza: todos somo diferentes, nuestros gustos tambien, Thanks God..!! Y en esta mañana de otoño, esta versión de la música del Gran Satie ha sido una deliciosa compañia para mi mente y mi espíritu.. Gracias!!
The new jazzy addition blends well with the 1st Gymnopedie without altering the accompaniment. I have no idea what Satie would say about this rendition but I personally love it!
Oh shit...the guy who uploaded this is Erik Satie. His ghost I mean, because he died a long time ago and now his ghost is uploading his music on RU-vid for us all to enjoy and listen to. How nice of him.
If Erik Satie's ghost actually existed, he would *** DESTROY *** this account, the person who perverted his music, his parents and would curse up to the seven generation of his family.
The way you play Gnossienne No. 3 is spot on, btw. That's exactly how I imagine it to sound when played right, haunting and slightly circusy and beautiful. Like a beautiful weeping clown doing a stilted, melancholic dance on a pavement surrounded by grey mist and scenery. Thank you for that.
I first heard Satie played on a church hall piano when I was aged five and watching my older sister take part in a ballet performance. Even at that young age the tune stuck in my head for years afterwards.
Thank you for this. I have gone through both anxiety and depression and this helps calm me down and get me asleep during hard nights. Thank you for your hard work!
Beautiful. Recording and performance is great. Thank you for taking the time to share these. Ignore the bitter ones who won't understand, I'll always welcome a fresh take on these works of art.
How someone can possibly bring the senseless monotony of our lives to our ears and it still sounds absolutely beautiful ? Life even with its mind-boggling complexity and paralyzing pessimism flows so effortlessly beneath our petulant and rambunctious existence. It goes forever with no demand or infringement, no turbulence and stop ........it goes forth and take with it all our vacuous universe to that ever-receding point at the end of that perpetual linearity with not a shadow of a purpose. And it is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
dear erik satie,i was tempted by your song because your song is awesome and beutiful.(specially Gymnopédie No.1 and Jazzopédie.)it helps me relax and study better than before.you're talented pianist. Thank for making this song.good night.erik.see you later(maybe not...?)P.s.I live in korea and i'm korean. so my english sentence might be strange and weird.but i want you to know i love your song.from your fan, jun yong choi
Sublime poetry to music. Dreamlike, surreal, enchanting. Atmospheric music that paints a beautiful scene. Sea, sand, sky, mountains, trees, the moon, the sun. I visualise travelling to distant places in my mind, when listening to Sate.
I have been trying to figure out the name of this song for years. I remember seeing something on TV back in the 60's where a Clown was in a Park and a Stature came to life and this Music was playing. It really struck something deep in My Heart & Soul!
Ouvir Satie trás uma sensação de estar sentado à beira do mar, em um dia frio, nublado... com o sol tentando romper as nuvens... as ondas debruçando calmamente na areia lisa... fina... a espuma desmanchando lentamente... uma leve brisa lambendo o rosto... os olhos se fecham e o cheiro suave da maresia toma conta do ar enquanto o sabor de marshmallow se espalha pela boca :)
Espectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ¡Qué sentimiento!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alimento para el alma. Gracias por su generosidad y amor a lo bello, a la calma y al bienestar. No puedo más que seguir disfrutando de esta bella melodía!!!!!!!!
Fui a los bosques porque quería vivir deliberadamente; enfrentar solo los hechos de la vida y ver si podía aprender lo que ella tenía que enseñar. Quise vivir profundamente y desechar todo aquello que no fuera vida... Para no darme cuenta, en el momento de morir, que no había vivido. H.D.T.
yo no lo conocia a ERICK SATIE pero una tarde de verano llego a mi manos un disco lo escuche y me enamore de la musica de satie que penetra hasta el fondo de mi alma
After a fairly rough few years, I began to feel isolated and trapped inside my own body...like a fish out of water who can't breathe if she isn't swimming. Music has been my god and salvation. This? Gave me wings today.
Gymn #1, I imagine a "Nude Descending a Staircase", or "Afternoon of a Fawn". My spirit soars to think there will always be a place for humans to live, and strive, and play nice with self and others; that's what Erik Satie allows us...
I have incorporated this album in my yoga routine and loved It, then I started dancing with the first song, a dance all my own, to become more graceful, with the first piece after that I do my yoga practices, then I’m all good to go.
Some of the best music, of which Satie is the patron Saint, is JUST WHAT ONE LEAVES OUT. Instead of filling in every silence with basic, wilted licks. On the other hand. I would welcome the joy of doing these arrangements -at home by myself with a glass a scotch-
I felt the pianist was a bit slow but after listening to faster versions again I felt the slow pace of the pieces in this video opened room for more emotion and drama, honestly probably the better version altogether.
