He was definitely the LAST SOULMAN - being now farther away than "Across the 110th Street", his voice will remain immortal......R.I.P

As I do appreciate your straightforward championing of Barbier`s Satie ( and as Amazon.de was prepared to send it for around Euro 20 without additional postage....) I finally gave in and pressed the "order" button.......

!!!!

In case you also ordered/got Tina Brooks "Back To The Tracks", could you pls comment on the Bonus Tracks ?? I didn't order that one either, bought that one too many times! Recent XRCD is excellent. thnx for the feedback - have the XRCD too and was just curious about the bonus tracks - first findings were not too enlightening ......

mike, subject statement of yours sounds like a strong recommendation to me....will contemplate.......

did you in mentioned survey also have a chance listening to Anne Queffelec`s Satie recordings from the late eighties for Virgin ? No, didn't hear her. Some of of the others I listened to were Pascal Roge, De Leeuw, Patrick Cohen, and Peter Dickinson. There were more. Ciccolini I knew from back when. Roge was a perfect example of why elegantly shaded French pianism is not the way to Satie. Cohen IIRC was interesting/eccentric, but I no longer recall in what way. Dickinson, like White a composer, had a similar grasp of how Satie's music ought to be handled IMO -- a certain plainness/absence of rhetoric, a la John Cage's string quartet, perhaps. thnx for your feedback - will keep Queffelec in mind, probably there will sooner or later a momentum developed........to stock up a "shopping basket"........

The only Bethlehem Bonus CD I got came courtesy via a goood friend in Japan.....CDSOL- 6000S4 Mel Torme - California Suite .....

In case you also ordered/got Tina Brooks "Back To The Tracks", could you pls comment on the Bonus Tracks ??

Priceless contributions on CLASSICS like Andy Harlow`s "Musica Brava", Markolino Diamond &Frankie Dante`s "Beethoven`s V", Luis "Perico" Ortiz Presenta A Santiago Cerron "Tumbando Puertas" and Willie Colon "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" to name a few......R.I.P

- still for a completely different perspective on Satie appreciate Ciccolini`s EMI performances too.....
