What is your favourite Erik Satie collection ?

[Test Fforet]

Hey,

 

so for years now I just have got "Erik Satie - The early piano works (Reinbert de Leeuw)

 

I like it quite much but it is a VBR release I got via Soulseek ages ago (I can't hear the difference between 320kbps-Braindance and FLAC-Braindance, but with single piano hits I really hear the difference)

 

So as I'm now searching for a new decent collection to buy and as there is a lot of them on the market, I would like to hear WATMM's favourite.

 

 

So what's your fav Erik Satie Collection and why ?

[hello spiral]

This one https://www.discogs.com/Erik-Satie-Bojan-Gori%C5%A1ek-Richard-Cameron-Wolfe-Musique-De-La-Rose-Croix-Pages-Mystiques-USPUD/release/3272571

 

 

It's a bit more off the beaten path (and all the obvious stuff you can listen to on youtube or whatever)

Some nice abstract pieces in there. The first three are fairly majestic and there's a nice long excerpt of Vexations (for when you're not up for the full 18+ hours).

Also I love the cover.

Satie Slowly by Philip Corner is pretty special.

I also asked a few grandpa's at SeekersOfTheSouls which one they would recommend and this was always the answer.

So I ordered the 5cdBox which arrived today and I really like Ciccollini's fingerworks.

 

Thank you all

The cd box got the picasso picture, I hope I didnt lost street credibility for not buying the vinyl. haha,

I dont care anyway much about the vinyl and analogue synth revival, it is cool, but I like it digital

 

(after I converted the album on my P-to-the-C I dont need the cd box anymore. if anyone wants the plastic box

just drop me a pm)

[Guest bitroast]

Not about digital vs analog.. I would prefer to have high quality digital myself (24bit) but I'm not sure the original recordings were ever put on CD. I have the recordings that you have & they are beautiful but aren't quite as emotive & flowing as the original vinyls. They are quite cheap & common though & you should give them a listen if you are serious about Satie.
