Letter(s) to Erik Satie

Bertrand Chamayou

Classical - Released September 1, 2023 | Warner Classics

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Diapason d'or - Choc de Classica
John Cage's admiration for the music of Erik Satie is well known; Cage organized a Satie festival early in his career, and even casual listeners will detect a spirit of experimentation and a certain irreverence common to the two. Perhaps no one has explored the relationship in greater detail than pianist Bertrand Chamayou on this 2023 release, which hit classical best-seller lists in the autumn of that year. There are several real finds here. One is a rare Cage piece, All Sides of the Small Stone, that was actually dedicated to Satie's memory, and another is a work by Satie specialist James Tenney, Three Pages in the Shape of a Pear (In Celebration of Erik Satie), which suggests lines along which this compositional axis might be extended. In the main body of the program, Chamayou balances Satie and Cage nicely, picking some Cage works that sound quite a bit like Satie and tying the development of the prepared piano closely to these. This is a fresh interpretation. The overall effect has both charm and humor, qualities that aren't always associated with Cage. However, after hearing this album, listeners will feel that maybe they should be. Chamayou has, up to now, been better known for mainstream French and German repertory, but this release reveals him as a talented interpreter of 20th century music as well.© James Manheim /TiVo

Simplement

Larusso

French Music - Released October 4, 1998 | Parlophone (France)

Download not available
Larusso's Simplement is the French answer to Mariah Carey -- an exotic beauty with a passionate voice singing simplistic pop and R&B. The 14 songs that make up the album barely deviate from one another, shifting from slow R&B/pop to fast R&B/pop. The most adventurous thing on the album is "Intro Concert," the one-minute Daft Punk-esque track that kicks off the album. "Bouge de Ma Vie" is a good example of the typical Larusso song: its foundation is a mid-tempo jam driven by keyboards and acoustic guitar while she croons bland verses up to the mildly catchy hook that makes up the chorus. The song is mildly above average, which is a perfect way to describe her music. There is nothing challenging or engaging, but there is nothing really terrible or boring either. This is just a very average album by a talented musician who has nothing spicy or memorable to work with.© Bradley Torreano /TiVo
