I utterly disagree, this is not in the Satie spirits of music, this lacks so much of emotions, ok the fingers are put in the right place at the right moment but please, Gnossiennes are supposed to be more than that, where is passion, desperateness, melancolia or hesitation? It does not sound like coming from a disturbed mind and it misses all the point, to me at least. Far too much in academic style. Put your soul in that music!

[Klangzauberer]

@MrLulu33210 I think I have put soul into the music. But you are right, there is more space for expression. I think today my playing has much developed compared to that.

By far the best rendition of that great piece of music on here. My only recommendation is that you get a better microphone for that camera.

[Klangzauberer]

Thanks! Yes you are right I need a better microphone. Actually I have one and I used it for my newer videos which are mostly recorded between Christmas and New Years Eve. The thing which still bothers me is the noise in the video even with the microphone. That still appears because I connected it with the camera. I bought a sequencer to connect with the microphone and a laptop. Currently I haven't got much time to try that out but my next session in August will be hopefully without any noise.

You play it really beautifully, best I've heard here, IMO, I love the haunting quality, you really bring out the beauty of this piece.

[CaddyCo]

You play it so wonferfully. I know because, when played with such grace and beauty, I'm taken afar in a dream of calmness and tranquility. Thank you.

@MrLulu33210 Point well taken, thank you for the insight

[MrLulu33210]

@CarloAchdjian you miss my point, i was not alive at Satie's time obviously but music player such as historian must use what Paul Ricoeur called "good subjectivity" not to try to do such as the author would have done, but to be in the conception of what this music means. It worths only if you want to intreprete the song as it was made for, and i'm not against a reinterpretation, but don't tell me this is an essay to modernize the song, this is much classic, let's play classic then

[CarloAchdjian]

@MrLulu33210 Nonetheless it is still beautifully played. We must remember that when you mention a "disturbed mind", that this will only come from the source of composition. This can be said of any genius. No one can play the simplest melody such as Moonlight Sonata as we may perceive Beethoven played it and no one can sing a Wagner aria as we might conceive Wagner would have wanted it sung (save Flagstad or a few others)...in other words, appreciate the fact that the music is being kept alive

perfect

[Setheth]

all the recordings i have of this piece are too fast, this is a perfect tempo, well done, you played it beautifully. I shall take inspiration from this performance as i learn it

[CarloAchdjian]

Brilliant

There is magic here.

Thank you.

This is one of the best interpretations I've heard, no joke. The Gnossienes are meant to be played SLOW
