Description:

The world of Satie vividly portrayed by Taro, a magician of tone, and the first release on LP of a substantial collection of Satie's works! The first LP release of Satie's works by Taro, a wizard of tone! The music of Satie is stylish, melancholy, full of esprit, and somewhat eerie. Come to think of it, there are probably few pianists who are as well suited to Satie's music as Tharaud. Tharaud, with his outstanding sense of style, is able to portray the ever-changing nuances and stylishness of the music with a prismatic ease. The unique tone of the "magician of the fingertips" Tharaud's playing is thrilling. The duo with Le Sage could not have been more perfect in breath, tone, and sense. I couldn't help but take my hat off to a really good Frenchman playing French music. Juliette is a chanson singer whom Tharaud praises as "the ideal Satie singer," and she sings with a lot of atmosphere, reminiscent of an old Parisian café. Isabelle Faust's versatility also makes this collection of Satie's works a joy to listen to. The illustration on the cover is a portrait of Satie by Jean-Cocteau, and the order of the songs differs from the CD (HMC 902017).Also, due to time constraints, this LP does not include all of the songs on the CD.
