Alessandra Celletti somehow found my instrumental music page on MySpace some time back and sent me a friend request some time
ago on MySpace. I have always enjoyed her music. She added another page called "Alessandra Celletti
Plays Satie." I finally got around to listening to the pieces on her page. Simply amazing work.
Satie has always been one of my favorite composers, so I am
acquainted with many different recordings of his work. And I must
say that her "Trois Gymnopedies" - featured on her myspace page - rivals classical guitarist
Christopher Parkening's interpretation of "Cuna" by Mompou, perhaps my favorite
piece of music of all time (I don't know why: it just is. Jorma
Kaukonen's acoustic guitar piece "Embryonic Journey" on the
Jefferson Airplane album Surrealistic Pillow runs a close second,
but I need to write a full essay on that little jewel-cloud of magic - soon) for
breathtaking simplicity and beauty.
But she has done it again with this piece, which is one of the Pieces Froides and is on her new Satie cd. Lovely music, haunting video.
Thank you Alessandra!
