Aldo Ciccolini - Satie / Debussy / Strawinsky LP

Label: Forlane, 1957

Ciccolini plays Satie, Debussy and Stravinsky: first new edition on vinyl dedicated to this legendary pianist and a reference recording of Satie's works. Thanks to these first Ciccolini recordings, Satie was rediscovered; later Ciccolini presented a complete recording of Erik Satie's piano works.

How the pianist loved to devote himself to neglected repertoire and its creators in general, such as Antonio Salieri and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. With Debussy and Stravinsky, other favourite composers of Ciccolini are included on the LP.

A milestone in piano discography, illustrated with a rarely seen portrait of Aldo Ciccolini, which was created during the recording of this album.
