Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.
For me this music evokes an emotion that I cannot define. Not happy, not sad, not fear, not anger, not desolate. Some eerie type of formless emotion that is neither positive or negative that I don't want to stop listening. An emotion from another dimension that lurks deep inside the gray universe inside my skull.
I found this Gnosienne: a moment of awareness that someone you’ve known for years still has a private and mysterious inner life, and somewhere in the hallways of their personality is a door locked from the inside, a stairway leading to a wing of the house that you’ve never fully explored-an unfinished attic that will remain maddeningly unknowable to you, because ultimately neither of you has a map, or a master key, or any way of knowing exactly where you stand.
Unlike half the pianists that have done this on RUclips these guys actually got the actual tempo right. Subdued, mysterious, LENTO. And the violin improv totally got be by surprise!
Then find it in Buenos Aires where the tango is so perfectly performed in awesome tango shows, or even on the streets for extra money to feed a family.
One of my favourite performances online. I’ve watched this countless times. The arrangement is so interesting and it’s great to see how the accordionist partners with the violinist. Just a great master class in chamber music. Thank-you.
This is for those Saturday or Sunday afternoons when the temperature is just right and through the open windows you sit and feel the breeze and fall into remembrance of your life. Those moments when time seems to stand still, even as the shadows lengthen and move across your vision. People and experiences that cannot ever be recovered and yet feel so palpable in those moments. A trance. A surreal experience!
I'm from Sarajevo and Gnosienne 1 always reminds me of having a slow, late afternoon coffee at one of the points overlooking Sarajevo and contemplating life, because it sounds as if that's excactly what Eric was doing when he composed it. This version I hear now for the first time and it just reinforced that feeling :)
1:21 this part absolutely sends shivers down my spine. It is so beautiful, look at the little twitch of emotion on his face, the violin sounds like it is telling me a story
What Seth Ford-Young did was to creatively blow a new life on an already celebrated masterpiece. His rendition is sets the reincarnation of Satie's beautifully testament of mystery and caprice, in the hands of apt, free and passionate gypsies travelling through the French fields to borrowing inescapably personal accordion. All the solos flow freely over the ever faithful pillars of the syncopated guitars strung peacefully, smiling on its adopted children dancing, running within the harmonic structure its sets or simply follows. Beautiful! Thank you for this gift Seth
Clearly you people haven’t listened to enough accordion music. People are unaware that the accordion can play the most beautiful pieces in the baroque and classical repertoire. Making a mockery of the instrument comes from the view that it is a cheesy instrument. There are many gifted players around the world who play classical repertoire. The accordion isnt all polkas and Lawrence Welk tunes. It can all be seen on you tube.
Quelle magnifique interprétation et à quel point les Gnossiennes et les Gymnopédies d'Erik Satie demeurent universelles. Elles sont souvent reprises de différentes manières, sans altérer les originales que nous connaissons généralement interprétées au piano, et l'on se sent emporté par ce génie artistique qui nous touche au fond du coeur, merci pour ce plaisir précieux.
I never before knew this music, Erik Satie, Seth Ford-Young, any of it. It came one afternoon to me as "random" pick via Pandora. I was totally unprepared for what moved thru me, upon listening to this melody and then surrendering to it. I wept so deeply and fully. It was all at once disturbing and true InJoyment. A story was unfolding within me. This music fused with and has become a part of me. I Love this Life experience soooo much! The Sentient Body that I Am Thanks you so much Porto Franco for posting this!❤❤❤
was very skeptical about this, since the whole point of Satie is his minimalism and this piece is all about that. But having heard this, its amazing and very emotive. hope to hear more from these guys. very nice piece. play it in the car on the way to work and think about happier times.
I have touched nirvana. This is an absolutely phenomenal rendition of this piece. What I have always imagined myself hearing walking through Verona, Italy during the turn of the century. Thank you !
I think this master piece from Satie, is showing how our regular, daily lives, shaping us in a way of pity. I can see my and every other person's life in pity, monotone and in black-white. Doing the same things all over again. This version just adds more kick to it. Brilliant.
I love Gnossienne and how diffent musicians play it on so many different instruments. This version is quite unique with its unusual tango like interpretation. Brilliant.
I am always stunned by this version of a stunning piece of art. These guys are just incredible. How to evoque the silence, the gravity, the shift between the violin and the accordion. Mesmerizing. I cry a little each time.
I do not know why. The music of Erik Satie, takes me on a journey. My soul, my spirit they all disappear. I experience the most diverse feelings. This brilliant, wonderful music goes into the deepest parts of my heart, my soul. I have never experienced that a piece of music touches me so much in my heart that it always moves me to tears. No matter how many times I have heard it. The music is not of this world. Dear Erik Satie, Wherever you may be now, know that you have left a great gift to us humans. I imagine that you enjoy watching us enjoy your music. Thank you for your beautiful gift.
This the sexiest, most beautiful rendition of Satie's Gnossienne No.1 ever! Please come to Austin Texas and play for us... this is perfection! Thank you!
Such a fantastic performance! Congratulations to all these wonderful and super talented men. I enjoy this so much, every time I hear it, and just can't get tired of hearing it...I need to be careful! Its addictive....
I always come back to watch this. It has been years now since i first discovered this marvelous performance. And I watch and listen to it at least once every month. It transports me to a world i wish i could live in forever. thank you for this beautiful gift.
Just went I think I've heard the most captivating rendition of this piece, along comes another to keep it company,all with their own special flavor and intrigue.
Have Seth's album -- wonderful. Love Satie, and it is so amazing to see this piece performed live. It's a composition that already defines a distinctive sense of space -- but these musicians really occupy that space and make it something special. Thank you.
Sooo cool, I've never heard music like this, where have I been hiding, yes. You guys are great, I loved every second. Gonna get my violin out again, I've been learning this on classical guitar and stumbled on this vid, it's on my likes list forever now. Thanks for sharing your talent to the world.
Love... love... love... I've been playing this and the next three Gnossiennes on the piano for a couple of years, and you've inspired me to revisit it with the looper pedal. A truly brilliant performance; time just falls away each time I listen. Erik would approve.
Sublime orchestration qui renforce l'orientalisme de la mélodie et confère à cette musique une présence décorative et une musicalité expressive, qui sont moins sensibles dans la version pour piano.
This is my first exposure to this artist; taken at face value I thought it would be the butchering of one of my favorite pieces of music. Somehow the sum is greater than what the parts would indicate and they've turned what is usually a brooding, lament into a mysterious, Middle-Eastern-sounding treasure. What an incredible ear Mr. Ford-Young has in his arrangement. Kudos!
I massively love this piece, and what an awesome interpretation, I love it! I am sure that Satie (as an Aquarian) would have loved it too. you have created amazing, stylish, stylised and stamped your claim! Brilliant! :)
Somewhere beyond the veil, Erik Satie is smiling.
Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.

@@jeetray11 stillness... it's like it came straight out of the void of nothingness.
Jeet...what a coincidence... i feel exactly that emotion that cannot be defined...
Regret
Satie wrote this in 1865. I wonder if he ever thought that in 2024 a girl like me would be listening to it and thinking about him. So perfect!
Unlike half the pianists that have done this on RUclips these guys actually got the actual tempo right. Subdued, mysterious, LENTO. And the violin improv totally got be by surprise!
When there is music like this there is hope.
@@ericolens3 fuck off
@@fredlyr1 he really did😂
everybody likes violin but for me accordion is also masterpeace.
piece
This is the best version of Gnossienne No 1 in my mind, so haunting. It plays on my heart strings, makes me long for the country of my ancestors.
Satie is a great Alchemist of the soul , and his music is a magnificent elixir of the mind
the violin 1:11 brought my tear, this is so beautiful
This arrangement has a strong Gypsy feel to it. I can almost hear Nicolae Neacsu singing in the background.
Its no wonder Tod likes it.
I was going with eastern Europe, but gypsy works too. I see tango dancers with this version.
klezmer maybe
Then find it in Buenos Aires where the tango is so perfectly performed in awesome tango shows, or even on the streets for extra money to feed a family.
Да... а мне слышны еврейские мотивы
This is so awesome. Anyone who hasn't heard this music is truly missing out. So beautiful.
I love the violinist, he's so calm and does his job masterfully in this piece.
Despite all the controversy .. I don't think I could ever hate RUclips because it keeps hooking me up with the most amazing music. Bravo!

The accordion is a much maligned instrument...for good reason.
I thought about writing something, then...
@@deenibeeniable lol
deenibeeniable It added a really cool touch to this piece though, I have to admit

It took RUclips algorithm 12 years to find this for me, but it may be my favorite recommendation, period. This is _fantastic_
Collect everything, close the houses and let's go from the Earth, there is nothing else to listen to here, THIS IS THE MAXIMUM !!!!.
Wow, just wow! A mind-blowing interpretation of Satie's masterpiece. A highly evocative and reverential performance!

I did not realize the accordion could be so versatile.
Anything can be
i can replay this one million times and not get tired 😍
Christina Lion But there's so many other amazing pieces played by them that are just as beautiful.
spikeshroom this is my favorite because the original song is one of my favorites lol
Christina Lion Same here.
spikeshroom reading your comment, an excuse to listen to it again 😍😍😍😍
agree
Satie's genius is that he wrote timeless classics that can be arranged in so many different ways. This arrangement is a gem!
was very skeptical about this, since the whole point of Satie is his minimalism and this piece is all about that. But having heard this, its amazing and very emotive. hope to hear more from these guys. very nice piece. play it in the car on the way to work and think about happier times.
Had the same "prejudice." Glad to be proven wrong!
@@thegeniusfool: It makes you wonder what Perlman could do with it.
Or even better, make newer happy times!
I found the violin out of place at times.
I have touched nirvana.
This is an absolutely phenomenal rendition of this piece.

This simple and graceful music is off the charts
I feel a hundred years of loneliness
My soul will be wandering in Paris to spread infinitely in my mind
Utterly beautiful;filled with a deep joy yet an ache for a all that is lost.
hey Lorna! ☺️

Nice word
FANTASTIC! Loved the "arabic fiddle" work. I think it really builds on the themes of the song.
I am always stunned by this version of a stunning piece of art. These guys are just incredible. How to evoque the silence, the gravity, the shift between the violin and the accordion. Mesmerizing. I cry a little each time.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.
So captivating. I cannot stop listening to the music. Great.
I have listened this to music so many times ,every time it takes my soul far away sometimes ı can not find myself with the music rhythm.
L’accordéon est bouleversant !
Vive la France !
Soothing and very melancholy..... sensational!
I can keep listening to this beautiful music over and over again
To me this feels like the definition of life, the ebbs and flows. Neither happy nor sad, just as it is. My favourite piece.
I can't even put this music into words.. It goes right to the heart ...Thank you ..:))
I think the violin is the most expressive instrument out there. It's so versatile. The ensemble ere is great.
the violin really pushes this over the top
Lent, comme le temps qui s'étire, bravo pour cette interprétation aux tonalités qui parfois ont un air de klezmer !
Oh my... this is Wonderful. Never stop being you. Its people like you we need to turn this world around.
Teeeeraaaa suzu na oko 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
