These Erik Satie pieces, performed here on the ten-string guitar, are by no means mere transcriptions. They are, in fact, "diverted" directly from the original piano works - played note-for-note thanks to the instrument's expanded range. Guitarist Pierre Laniau uses this unique ten-string guitar to fully capture Satie's unmistakable atmosphere without altering his authentic score. Critics have widely praised the instrument's distinctive voice: a poetic blend evoking the lutherie of a lute, harpsichord, harp, and an elegant pianoforte. Delicate and refined, this performance opens the classical guitar repertoire to unexpected and enchantment-filled musical worlds.
