Letter(s) to Erik Satie

"Beautifully planned and presented sequence of miniatures pays homage to Satie and to John Cage who was heavily influenced by the late French composer ... As Bertrand Chamayou's ... sequence of miniatures by both composers shows, Satie's music imprinted itself on Cage's own piano works, especially in some of his pieces for conventional and prepared piano from the late 1940s ... It's a gem of a collection".

"It seemed inevitable that Bertrand Chamayou would be drawn to the twin, enigmatic worlds of arguably the most significant precursors of present-day experimentalism ... Real interest was only prompted when Chamayou discovered Cage's later artistic identification with Satie, leading to this dual celebratory recording of solo works ... The result is not so much a viewing of Satie through a Cageian lens, but a viewing of the two through the distinctive, brilliant lens of a sensitive pianist, newly converted".
