06/28/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) This is the very best Satie disc available. Why? Well, the performances are superb, the recording very clear; but moreover, what Roge has done here is select all Satie s lovely and haunting adagio pieces from his entire oeuvre for solo piano. This is signifigant because apart from these pieces, the remainder of Satie s piano works consists of frantic, humorous pieces that are supposed to be funny, but in reality are very poor art. Perhaps they were valuable as novelties during Satie s own day, as evocations of Modernism, Futurism, etc. Now they stink. But Roge has salvaged all the quite excellent slow and meditative pieces of unusual harmonies, and formed them into one fabulous disc.
