PIANO WORKS & MÉLODIES

Could Alain Planès let the 100th anniversary of Satie's death pass without paying homage to this composer whom he admires above all else? On a 1928 Pleyel, he presents a panorama of this often bizarre and biting music, which stubbornly resists categorization. Marc Mauillon (for the songs) and François Pinel (for the pieces for piano four hands) accompany him on his journey of discovery through the finest compositions of the Master of Arcueil. The booklet of this special recording contains illustrations of both the composer and the performer.
