Satie: Piano Music, Vol. 3
Erik Satie’s infamous composition Vexations consists of a single page of music repeated 840 times. Its first performance was organised by John Cage in 1963. For this album, pianist Noriko Ogawa offers a condensed version of 142 repeats, deliberately deviating from the conventional method of performance. She plays on an Érard grand piano dating from 1890.
