SATIE, E.: Gnossienne No. 3 (arr. F. Poulenc for orchestra) (Bavarian Radio Symphony, I. Fischer)
Erik Satie’s Gnossienne No. 3 is one of the most iconic works in his collection of Gnossiennes, originally composed for solo piano. The term ‘Gnossienne’ was choosed by Satie himself, the meaning remains mysterious. The orchestrated version of this piece by Francis Poulenc takes the dreamy, mysterious atmosphere of the composition to a new level. Through the use of subtle tone colours, orchestral layers and finely tuned dynamics, the original simplicity of the piano writing is preserved, but at the same time expanded by the variety of orchestral instruments.
