Скачать или смотреть Parade by Erik Satie

May 17, 2020: Happy Birthday to the most special French composer Erik Satie! It also happens to be the anniversary of one of his iconic pieces “, “Parade”, his ballet which was premiered with Diaghilev's Ballets Russes on May 18, 1917, with the direction of Cocteau, costume and design by Picasso, and choreography by Leonide Massine (who also danced the part of Prestidigitateur Chinois) This piece greatly influenced Les Six, themselves celebrating their 100th anniversary this year! And, it is the piece where "Surrealism" was born, as the poet Guillaume Apollinaire coined the term for the very first time in the program note of the piece.

Here is a rendition of the original four-hand version, a short excerpt from our new CD. Enjoy!
