Our Take

Up-and-coming French pianist Bertrand Chamayou has taken on the lofty task of paying homage to the eccentric and enigmatic Erik Satie in his latest album, "Letter(S) To Erik Satie." Chamayou's playful approach to Satie's compositions is evident from the start, with each track serving as a love letter to the quirky composer.

From the delicate touch in "Gymnopédie No. 1" to the intricate phrasing in "Trois Morceaux En Forme de Poire," Chamayou's technical prowess is on full display throughout the album. His ability to bring out the nuances and subtleties of Satie's music is truly impressive, showcasing a deep understanding and appreciation for the composer's unique style.

But what truly sets this album apart is Chamayou's cheeky sense of humour, which shines through in his playful interpretations of Satie's works. In tracks like "Embryons Desséchés," Chamayou injects a sense of whimsy and fun that is sure to bring a smile to the face of even the most serious classical music aficionado.

Overall, "Letter(S) To Erik Satie" is a delightful and charming tribute to one of classical music's most eccentric figures. Chamayou's skillful playing, combined with his playful interpretation, makes for a truly enjoyable listening experience that is sure to please both fans of Satie and newcomers alike. So sit back, relax, and let Chamayou's musical love letters transport you to the whimsical world of Erik Satie.
