Satie Camarata, The Camarata Contemporary Chamber Orchestra - The Music Of Erik Satie Through A Looking Glass
Review by abdoell majid
The album "The Music Of Erik Satie Through A Looking Glass" by Satie Camarata, The Camarata Contemporary Chamber Orchestra, is a stunning tribute to the French composer Erik Satie. The album features some of Satie's most famous works, including "Gymnopedie No. 1," "Gnossienne No. 1," and "Je Te Veux," among others.
The Camarata Contemporary Chamber Orchestra's interpretation of Satie's music is both elegant and modern, with a fresh take on the composer's signature sound. The orchestra's use of unconventional instruments, such as the harp and the celesta, adds a unique dimension to the already beautiful compositions.
The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and note perfectly balanced to create a rich and immersive listening experience. The album's cover art, which features a distorted image of Satie's face, is a fitting representation of the album's experimental and avant-garde nature.

About Satie Camarata, The Camarata Contemporary Chamber Orchestra
Born: May 17, 1866 (Honfleur, France)
Died: July 1, 1925 (Arcueil, France)
Erik Satie, was a French composer and pianist. A colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde, he referred to himself as a "phonometrograph" or "phonometrician" (meaning "someone who measures (and writes down) sounds"), preferring this designation to that of "musician," after having been called "a clumsy but subtle technician" in a book on contemporary French composers published in 1911. Later, from the 1940s on, predominantly presented Satie's work as that of an inventor of a new and modern musical expression, and so he was slowly rediscovered and became a precursor to artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, ambient (called "Furniture Music" by Satie) and the Theatre of the Absurd. In addition to his body of music, Satie also left a remarkable set of often humorous and witty writings.

Summary by abdoell majid
Comments
This was used as the signature music for one of WMHT/Schenectady's first FM programs in the early 1970s, an afternoon classical program hosted by either Richard Capparela or Kjersti Board, in those golden days of wide-open classical radio.
My parents played this album a lot when I was a kid and decades later its still my favourite interpretation of his work.
I bought this album after hearing it On CHUM FM in Toronto in the 70’s. The DJ was David Marsden. It was a rock station at the time but he played this album occasionally.
I was introduced to this piece of music in 1970 by actor/director Jason Bernard during a pre-rehearsal preparation for Dream on Monkey Mountain. Since then I've used this piece of music for self-guided imagery and meditation. It works to relieve stress and anxiety. It also promotes creativity.
Wow
I first heard this version on an FM free form hippie rock radio station around 1970. I went out and bought the album shortly afterwards. FM rock radio stations of the time were much more adventurous than they have been remembered, and the music young people listened to at the time was far more varied than the later "classic rock" stations acknowledged.
My brother bought this album new, and it was my introduction to Satie and remains my favorite version of the Three Gymnopedies. Talk about music to get lost in...
I should've asked my brother, before he passed in 2011, if he could pass this album onto me. Didn't dawn on me at the time....
Have this one, I like this a lot. Strange as Satie is the fact that the piano/moog player is uncredited on the sleeve album...
INCREDIBILE! I once owned this as a CD back in 1991 or 92, loaned it to a new friend in 95, but never got it back. I used to play this over, and over and over, wishing I lived during the classical music period. My favorite part that I would repeat was at 5:16. I love how the clarinet ends, and the strings finish the note. "Daaah, daaaa, da, da, duhn!" Another favorite at 3:29 the way the strings rise's and stay constant until the next change and then again at 3:59.
Why is this not available on CD? There seems to be sufficient interest to warrant a CD re-issue. Is there a copyright issue? I had a CD of it many years ago that was stolen by a junkie with good taste.
Yes, thank you. Like the other commentators, this rendition is sublime. And yes, there should be a CD recording. I wonder who owns the rights.
Found it looking for Tomita's Firebird on "It Came From the Bins" webpage ;-)
Nice, where is full album to be found?
