It’s so sad that people thought Satie failed as a musician. Yeah he wasn’t as popular as his contemporary Debussy but his music holds the magic of intimacy. Probably one of my favorite pianists of all time.
Failed musician? I never heard anyone say that before, not popular, yeah perhaps, but the people I spoke to that know of him, nobody ever said he was a failed, one of 'em didn't care for him, but he didn't ever mention failed.
@@spooks4772 nope not now I’m talking of when he was alive. Now everyone regards him w a lot of respect but back then he wasn’t considered to have been successful. (rather a weirdo)
oh, I see, that indeed was sad, I wish I could have met him
@@spooks4772 same :( his story is as sad as Van Goghs I wish I could go back in time and tell them how cool they are 😔
@@oleum5589 dr. who did tell van gogh in one of his episodes, haha... (although it was cheesy i loved it)
RIP Reinbert De Leeuw who passed away 1 year ago and who i consider the greatest Satie pianist.
That's not an opinion, that's a fact
@@simianto9957 well said
Simply is so out of nowhere. The harmony is the most unique I've ever heard. How on earth did he invent composition like that? Genius.
Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi, à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction !
si seulement le génie humain pouvait sortir un peu... un tant soi peu (sic) de son voyage intérieur...pour aimer.protéger les extérieurs nourriciers... extérieures Nature Mère.... cela conviendrait mieux au KarMa universel. j'en suis persuadé. mais je veux bien vous accorder que le processus créatif tient de LA Création même. mais alors que pense Dieu de notre faillite assurée, mais baignée de musique ? AH ! ..je parierais qu'il.elle même ne sait plus.... mais Satan lui, ne se fait pas d'effort de conscience. LUI peut prendre du recul. DIEU moins. La Nature nous a donné naissance sans trop regarder. La jolie musique ne nous sortira pas de cet embarras monstre 44k plus tard. ( ceci dit...votre dernière phrase ouvre des portes... et l'humain.e adore en ouvrir )
Satie's melodies and choices of chords amazes me. I love his ability to surprise in the most subtle way.
Beautifully stated! I totally agree.
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” - Plato.
i looked it up and found out it's a Plato's quote... Wouldn't have distinguished it from sometthing said by a poet just the other day, some people really are immortal by their words
i would have been a lot cooler if you said that
Diogenes was cooler and way more intelligent you Featherless biped. Also a fucking hilarious troll which, ironically, is another form of Socratic irony, something play dough may should have understood (?)
@@jordanraoul3827 did you ever in your life said something thought by you? i don't think so.
@@alexanderdegothia why you mad? Don't you know the first rule of the internet? Don't get mad. Who ever does so looses.
Satie has reached into a dimension of music that no one else has been able to find.
He might have agreed with you.
Love the way he twists and turns tonality into delicious pretzels that feed the ear and mind.
Much like your comment!
Satie saw his own mortality, and suffered. There is a thrilling melancholy for those of us that have lived a long life of many tragedies and are sensitive. I am a world-traveled, Vietnam Vet from a military family, yet, a fine artist; married three times, lost my brother to murder...my mother at 95, I'm 74 now - this isn't about me, but you see, you can imagine the distance between those lives- I hear Satie and I relate. He is serious.
L'amour a ses raisons - Proust
Thanks for the perceptive comment, RW. From my perspective as a pianist, the contribution to musical culture is unique. His love interest Suzanne Valladon painted him in period impressionist style and at the same time he personally knew other famous artists of the day so it is only natural that his musical pallette fit in perfectly with his era.. Of course his wardrobe was entirely monochromatic and redundant because he was entirely absorbed by his compositions. There weren't a lot of distractions. His work seems not to be at all compelling or dramatic, but to consist of a series of subtleties and thematic development, the product of a "phonometrician" at work. Along with Debussy, Satie's music was truly the Icing on the cake of La Belle Epoch. I'm a Viet Nam era vet and pride myself on not setting foot on Vietnamese soil. The work that army vet Chuck Searcy, is doing to rid the country of UXO is heroic, but of course our oval office nitwit has taken away federal funds from the effort.
Satie has something totally compelling for me. Combined with Impressionist and other paintings of the era it's just perfect. I've used Gymnpedie on several of my RUclipss where it fits wonderfully. I might even have a clip of his house in the port of Honfleur if I recall correctly.

Tu es sympa, Rusty, mais on n'est pas là pour que tu nous racontes ta vie.
WTF, Rusty, nothing to fuck about your bullshit.
I adore how these paintings are matched and fit together as a sort of interpretation of Satie's pieces, it feels as if I'm watching the lives of people throughout their day without them being aware,, not entirely there and kind of giving me scrooge vibes when he turned into a ghost . .
It's eerie and melancholic and beautiful all wrapped up together, the type of uncomfortable I'm intrigued by
Yes the film does tie into a French feel. Satie captures that, too.
So underrated. Satie’s music is so wise. Like another point of view of people’s lifes on Earth. We are all mortal.
Your pfp happens to be one of my all time favorite art pieces!!
It is impossible to describe everything about Satie. He is an alien !
His music is so haunting, and yet I cant get enough of it
Let's make a horror 😱😂
🤔😂🤣🤣🤣
I am never sad hearing this , however it reminds me of being sad and glad it has passed.
It is indeed. Have you tried Gaspard de la nuit by Ravel?
Haunting is an apt expression for Satie's music. I find it ethereal and enchanting ,too.
I find this music immensely reassuring. So much from so little. Satie is a genius.
I think "so much from so little" is a great description of Satie's work.
Well said.
it feels like the unexpected changes in chord and mood are the chaos that life gives us, but Satie is pushing back against that (as much as one is able to push back against the world), striving and pushing and using all his cunning to make order and beauty. sometimes it feels like there's respite and he's more in control, other times it feels like things are changing too fast to follow through on the initial plan, and it feels like we are underwater and struggling towards the surface. the most noteable thing is this: whatever happens, it is beautiful; not always is it sort of beautiful that we thought the phrase or section was building towards, but always beautiful never the less.

The point about him being deceptively simple is inferred. Bitter-sweet, romantic but structured, rhythmic and repetitive but endlessly varied. Beguiling! I love it. Somehow it's healing, perhaps?
My favorite composer!
Greatest Satie's work. True Surrealism, he is a real innovater
With Satie's music, I can enter Parisian art, and bask in it's beauty. Thank you, Erik Satie.
This is the best Satie for me. I identify with him a lot. I see, like him, I think, the absurdity of established authority and their callousness, yet the warmth of the common people can somehow shine through, despite Satie's bleak loneliness.
Formidable un Satie que je ne connaissais pas. Grave et tendre. Magnifique interprétation.
When I was in the Satie Maison in Honfleur two years ago, I realized that his rosicrucian period left a glow of heavenly happiness in the midst of what appears to be melancholy; the beauty in the simple flow is what draws me year after year to his music...the pictures disturbs me a little, knowing the oftentimes dreary external life he lived on the outskirts of Paris...
I was in Honfleur maybe three years ago. I was pleased to see the wall plaque on his house as it was random discovery. I hadn't realised that it could be visited. Was it an interesting visit?
At times Satie has a spiritual quality. It makes me smile. There is not sadness there for me. His transitions capture harmony. It is delicate. Thanks nadaniente.
Satie isn't extravagant or boastful in his works, which is why I love it even more so. It's slow, dreamy and flows so well.
seems he was extravagant as a person... I find his music quite extravagant for Paris and France at this time
Well someone doesn't know Satie, haha.
I like to listen to these guys early in the morning with the crows flying around and the changing colours of the sky.
For anyone who is just discovering Satie, hold on tight and keep exploring beyond his peaceful, endlessly melodic works. He was complex and often difficult. Hear his "The Son of the Stars" and you'll find it hard to believe it's from the same composer. I'm still trying to figure it out. That said, this particular music is lovely, and so are the paintings that accompany it. I'm always sad when I think how an incomparable era teeming with arts ended with WWI, never to be hale again.
this is a real exercise in listening, like a conversation with a very wise person, so much is intimated at, entirely new directions are suggested with a turn of phrase
frank scott exactly! When I listen to Satie; songs I’ve heard numerous times, I always find something new and a different emotion expressed in his music.
Frank, that is a brilliant comparison.
Beautifully put
Lovely description - says it all :-)
Love this video, perfect image of Satie and early 20th century Paris.
There is a lucid directness to this music. For the last 50 years or so I have sought out Satie's music for my own emotional solace and inspiration. His clarity always finds its mark and I'm grateful for his genius.
he doesn't give you a normal or expected cadence but leaves it hang to where your mind ends up in an unusual place.
Musique totalement sublime et de magnifiques tableaux. Satie est au mieux de son génie. Décidément que serait une vie sans peinture et sans musique ?ici le choix est tout à fait excellent par un amoureux de Paris de la beauté des femme,bref,un véritable artiste. Merci pour ce partage.
Sometimes, less is more. The silence and spaces between the notes speaks to the soul....
The combination of Satie's mellifluous anarchism and period paintings makes this an unusually effective and enjoyable powsting . Thank you nadaniente 115a
I love the unsettled feeling in this. It's an evolution, with an overarching theme, like a life of many events being remembered through one moment, one lens.
for me Saties music is the happiness mixed with melancholy from a person that also emotionally has realized that life is going to end one day and that we never will know when its the tao of absurdity thats built into life put into music
yeah
So true...well put.
obaolori I felt the same thing but didn’t know how to say it. Thank you
These pieces have helped me accept the inevitability of my own mortality in a way no religion can- with sadness but also a deep satisfaction that comes from living and feeling fully,
I wrote a poem to this song and then I saw this, and my poem said the same thing.. music transcends language,
cela fait énormément de bien et procure beaucoup de plaisir , que de découvrir ces pièces moins connues ! ! !
Mais la musique de Satie est TOUJOURS trop belle ! !
SOCRATE n'est pas loin de cette musique ! ! ! !
so brilliantly, utterly melancholy
"Pièces Froides" is the most haunting music I have ever heard ... nakedly disclosing the human condition without apology ... gently ... and quietly departing, just as it entered our most private sitting room.
Serenity, not worrying and not thinking anything but immersing and floating in paintings as if nothing exists
That is my goal for when im an old man, serenity or as I prefer to call it, harmony, exactly how you described it.
Je pense que ce sont parmi les plus belles œuvres courtes pour piano imaginables! Rêveur - bravo monsieur Satie!
I am so in love with Satie's music right now. Gives me the shivers...so darkly beautiful and haunting. I am starting piano lessons and I could spend my life learning his and Debussy's repertoire.
Good choice. You will be rewarded for the experience. Ravel too. Best
amazing, you can feel the melancholy in every image, life is so, and every person is so,
I find Satie's music instantly recognisable, genuinely unique, charming yet samey.
Satie just invented his own style
He just represents the feeling of melancholy so real and magical. I really appreciate Satie. Great composer and musician. His music maybe not that complicated but that makes it so magical. He really is important for the universe of music
Just really discovered Satie. I've heard bits and pieces from some of his songs without realizing it. I'm so glad I can finally appreciate his music more fully having a name to the tune now. I agree with the comments. From what I've heard so far, he is incredibly underrated for how subtle and intimate his songs are.
I didn t know that satie;now i m in love with its work.
L'impression de lire Alice Au Pays Des Merveilles /De L'autre Côté Du Miroir (Lewis Caroll) avec mes oreilles... Mêmes perceptions, mêmes compréhensions, encodages... D'une grande et rare intelligence. Je l'aime tant... Chaque écoute est un état de plénitude sans cesse renouvelé. Comblée, j'existe.
I'm super grateful for this song, it's really helping me get through some shit right now.
For me the only person who can play Satie. Great visuals, thank you.
I love Satie. This music accompanies the paintings perfectly.
I also listen the same music.
I do not look at the pictures. My pictures are in my fantasies.
Satie music is very interesting, because gives us a set of really pictures and images of life. He was one outstanding compositor with a calm and relaxing music. Although ourselves can construct these pictures in our own imagination through this sublime music.Bravissimo!!
Magnifique sélection de peintures !!!
This is so Romantic...perfect for
The prelude......of an evening.
Thank you for making and sharing this beautiful video. The well chosen artworks complement the ambiance of Satie's music so perfectly. kedi
Kedimy so true
Minha paixão é escutar essas músicas... Sempre. Eu queria ter uma eternidade de vida, só pra escutar o som que os dedos desse homem produziram no piano. É uma das melhores dores que eu posso ter. Melancolia perfeita.
Haunting Erik, No 1 music for serial killer documentaries. Yay
This music is absolutely sumptuous .... A Babylonian sound architecture erected by a humble and immense composer
Beautiful music with the background of 11 impressionist painters.
Mr. De Leeuw makes these pieces anything but cold.
Aparte la perfección de las figuras, la proporción y profundidad, es la luz , lo mejor de esta pintura maravillosa que deja tras contemplarla , una paz interior absoluta. España.
très beau cette musique et ces peintures impressionnistes.
C'est un ciel chargé mais avec des lueurs, des accalmies, des apaisements rêveurs.
Sumptous, haunting, sombre French genius. Thanks for uploading nadaniente x

What does the sub-classes you wrote correspond to ? (Go on , again ..etc) Are they subjective or classified like this by Satie ?🙂
Kiitos Markku.. Mutta mistä nämä ovat? :)
@@maiacharbonnier4416 Classified like this by Satie .
Much appreciated, Markku51.
What a beautiful montage of art to go along with this beautiful piece 😌 perfect combination. 👌
Serenity. Sernity. And peace of mind
This is amazing. I have to be careful listening to Satie cause there's a deep melancholy vibe. It's beautiful but deadly. It pulls you inside parts of the mind that are almost too unbearable to remember. A place familiar but estranged at the same time. It speaks without words.
les Pièces Froides de Satie - triptych - immediately hypnotized me also .. back when, i was 20 and discovered them. It was total hypnosis. I couldn't think. i couldn't move. i couldn't look anywhere but, on the ground from the side ...it was as though i was paralized by this strange way of playing the piano. Music sparks chemical reactions in organic matter. you . me . the cow . the sheep . the plant . the wasp. it resonates on the walls of instinct . don't be afraid
you are so beautiful 😍
Beautifully said and I agree
Лаконичная мистика Сати...и прекрасные картины художников 19-го века. Великолепно!
Laconic mysticism Sati ... and beautiful paintings by 19th-century artists. Sumptuously!
This maestro has completely replaced the old Glazer recordings in my affections.
This is one of the most beautiful videos on YT. Music is the best. Reinbert de Leeuw is its most important interpreter. Images are simply wonderful. What could we ask for more?
Thank you. Satie and De Leeuw desserve it, the painters too. Thanks for taking the time to say it, it's very kind of you. Cheers!
Exquisite performances.
this is a much better interpretion on these pieces than most other ones heard here on youtube that are far too fast played, and almost mechanical, without any feeling.
Totally agree, most of classical music interpretations are being played far too fast, wich is a huge flaw, can't say this about this interpretation though. Thanks for shearing!))
By George !
I like the typo. Shearing instead of sharing !
I bet George could have played this.
It's supposed to be played in ragged time, slow, yes, but with a beating heart yearning to stop
Mr de Leeuw has played Satie for decennia, in his own meditative special way. I've heard many interpretations, but I believe he taps right into the imprint Satie gave to his compositions. I'm convinced that actually SEEing Mr de Leeuw play is not only fasciating to pianists, but to every sensitive soul in the world. It's sheer essence; no ego, no compromise.
For anyone interested I recommend watching a video from last year called "Reinbert de Leeuw - Erik Satie/ Gnossiennes 1-6 (live @TivoliVredenburg Utrecht)" here on YT.
Satie inspire me every single day
The paintings are beautiful, too. A list of titles and artists would really be great.
You have a list of the artists at 14:19. Take good care!
@@mireillelebeau2513 Thank you. Much appreciated.
Par la parole, l'homme transmet à autrui ses pensées, tandis que par l'art il lui transmet ses sentiments et ses émotions.
bien dit !
This is music that takes you away from all of your tommorrow’s.
Now I can realize many of my night's dreams. Wanderful Erik. Giacomo Leopardi loves you.
the pieces of music paired with the works of art. lovely.
Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you never knew.
To all the students to whom I taught tonal harmonic practice: forget everything I taught you about harmonic progression and cadences and just enjoy the fantasy world of Satie as he makes us forget our musical heritage.
:)
I have not known this part of Satie's works before: a big thanks for sharing them here!
Erik Satie was the only composer that was ahead of his time he thinked about the 2000 . And wanna make his music like 2000. He loved Johnny Cage music also. He was really ahead of his time he was thinkin further then any composer. His music is a gift to the people. so thats why Erik Satie for me is The Best Composer That ever Lived Rest in Peace Erik Satie. I will forever play his Music . Till the day i die. And Maybe Conpose
Bellissimo, grazie!
De Leeuw captures these beautiful pieces wonderfully
Atmospheric and childlike
De Leeuw is the master in conveying Satie.
mooi gespeeld en voor altijd Satie en De Leeuw samen. Morgen ga ik naar zijn uitvaart en begrafenis in Amsterdam. Hij is voor mij van grote waarde en onsterfelijk, door alles waar hij gepassioneerd voor ging en gelukkig op cd of dvd heeft vastgelegd. Rust zacht Reinbert!
Nice. I love Satie (music), painting, sculpture and poetry.
Under appreciated at his time, even to this day. Few understand the expression of his emotions. Few understand him. His time is yet to come.
Reinbert de Leeuw is by far the best Satie performer ever.
Прекрасное впечатление! Стилистически- точное попадание.Истинное наслаждение- слушать...такую прозрачную, " прохладную" музыку и любоваться прекрасными живописными творениями... Большое спасибо!
Вера Н. Désolée mec, je ne comprends rien, mais je vois que vous apprécie le grande Satie 👍
thanks, nadaniente
it's a good deed - what you're doing with satie's music and impressionist paintings
my 88-year-old artist mom likes it too
there isn't much left in the world of man to comfort and console people like me
satie understood what was coming, i think!
+bumppo shepherd Thank you! You are very kind. Cheers.
How young are you if I may ask? :)
I like when he said "I came into the world very young, in an age that was very old."
He would've laughed both with, and at, John Cage.
For i came into the world ancient in an age that is very passed
Eric Satie...Simply delightful ❤
Great choice of art for the video...very evocative....and nice to hear something new.I listen to Classic FM in the UK and boy is it repetititive.. If i hear a lark ascending one more time I might go out and shoot a few
Arte pura! Inspira leveza com melancolia. Sublimar as contradições da Alma. Amo Satie ...
I love listening to eric satie, his music is to me, really relaxing almost therapeutic
beautiful music and lovely art
It may be that Satie had the gift of synesthesia which overlap senses so that, for example, sounds had colour or temperature. So to me these are just very pleasant pieces of music but to Satie maybe he actually felt cold when playing or composing them. Debussy was a great admirer of Satie.
edepillim as a sufferer of synesthésie, I confirme, the couleurs fade to sepia, tiède devient froide comme une mémoire de joie longue oubliée
I have synesthesia and to me this piece is like a very dark blue to me which turns into a brighter one later on, then to sepia before ultimately fading into a bright silvery grey.
Synesthesia is not a gift. As a person who suffers from it, it makes me avoid a lot of things that I would not avoid otherwise. It also makes me like a lot of things that I can't put in mouth-words why I enjoy further alienating me from people.
Beautiful music, beautiful paintings
beautiful video, thanks
Excellent , Magnifique !
Cette musique est absolument somptueuse....Une babylonienne architecture sonore érigée par un humble et immense compositeur !!
