A new album of lost Erik Satie works, 100 years after his death [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2025-06-28

Erik Satie is famed for his Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes, experimental piano works that have calmed, enchanted and driven listeners for more than a century. Twenty-seven lost works by the French composer are performed on a new album by pianist Alexandre Tharaud, available now from Warner and on all the usual platforms.

James Nye, a British musicologist and composer, and Sato Matsui, a Japanese composer and violinist, tracked down the lost material in various archival collections, including the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.

They just got posted to Theraud's YouTube channel. Here's Valse inédite:

I liked Bourrée, a boss-fight bop if ever there was one.

Previously:

• Erik Satie's 'Gymnopédies,' as performed by a choir of animals

• The 'Interstellar' theme played on an otherworldly cristal baschet
