"Esotérick
Satie is really a great piece of work, the choice of works and
the order between these is tasteful. Most professional pianists
seem to have major difficulties catching the secret atmosphere
behind them, and to perform them the way Satie intended to, but
Alessandra does it with great affection".
[Niclas Fogwall - editor of Erik Satie
Homepage]
"Thanks
to Alessandra Celletti and KHA Records for her refreshing, vigorous
and sensitive recording of Satie. It is aptly titled 'Esotérick
Satie'".
[J. Walter Driscoll - independent scholar,
author and editor]
"The
sensitive interpretation by Alessandra Celletti highlights the
fundamental homogeneity of the composers work, who through the
diversity and multiplicity of his explorations, has constantly
striven to liberate himself from his own subjectivity".
[Ornella Volta - Archives Erik Satie]
"Alessandra
Celletti draws from these very well known works (A. Ciccolini,
J.J. Barbier, R. De Leew) the inner strenght to recapture our
flagging attention. Her Piecès Froides vibrate with a rare light
and the three Gymnopédies are refreshed by a clear, delicate,
performance. The rhythm remains suspended, rigorous and grave.
The humour, the non-sense and as well as the absurd are elegantly
and pointedly expressed in the Sports et Divertissements, from
which the interpreter has chosen three short movements".
[Frank Mallet - Le Monde de la Musique]
"Erik
Satie was a searcher of genial sounds and a free spirit. At this
point the young talented pianist Alessandra Celletti has emerged
in order to compose Esotérik Satie. With a strict sense of measure
and a delicate interpretation Alessandra moves from Satie's evolutions
experimenting through an original research of the French composer's
musical harmony."
[Alessandro Rosa - La Stampa]
"Erik
Satie's music can't be played by just anyone. Because it requires
a particular sensitiveness, a love without boundaries. A predisposition
to easiness and meditation. An approach to musical notes, aligned
on the great French artist's pentagram, which the pianist Alessandra
Celletti has made her own with great passion."
[Alessandro Mezzena Lona - Il Piccolo Giornale
di Trieste]
“This
album is a wonderful gem. The way in which Celletti interprets
and represents the tunes on her sole piano is astonishing; this
incredibly well put together album is a triumph start to finish.”
