Who would think that Michel Legrand, well known for his movie music and jazz piano playing, would turn out to be such an excellent player of Satie. This spare, often sarcastically humorous music is extremely distant from Legrand's own compositions. Yet he plays the pieces with poise, clarity, and sensitivity to Satie's special world of elegant zaniness. The famous Gymnopédies are here, played ideally at a tempo which is almost too slow. The main complaint against this disc is that it should have had more music (only 54"), but what is here is excellent, and very well recorded. --Leslie Gerber
