Satie Slowly / Philip Corner
) | Label: Unseen Worlds Catalog: UW12CD Format: CD Philip CornerComposed by: Satie, Erik From the time of his participation in the first performance of Erik Satie's "Vexations", American composer Philip Corner (b. 1933) realized that here was a "secret genius" who masked with humility and seeming conformity a profoundly innovative, thorough-going critique of the limitations and pretensions of our High Culture as it has come down to us. A 44-page booklet of commentary and pages of analyses set out to demonstrate this - with implication for performance of the works. This ample selection of early period piano pieces, music with great spiritual content, is spread across 2 CDs.  Price: $25.98 |
