Reinbert I think plays it as closely as I can imagine Satie playing in my head. I can’t listen to anyone else play Satie anymore. RIP Reinbert. Rest in keys
I can't believe that ! I dreamt of meeting him one day, I've listned to Satie's Gnossiennes endless times and from many interpretors but this is the most sublime one. RIP dear Reinbert
Of all classical composers, Erik Satie has composed the most deeply dark, mystic and beautiful music. He and a handful of other greats have always had a profound influence on me since i started hearing and understanding music. Its also the mystery and indescribable eeriness in Satie's compositions that keep my depression from getting to me, makes me relax and feel better because the pain and loneliness in his music appear to be worse than mine, yet beautiful at the same time. Reinbert de Leeuw is the best Satie interpreter without a doubt.
Rest In Peace Reinbert... I'm feeling really sad, one of our greatest artists just died. As a pianist he made Satie's work immortal, and as a conductor he promoted 20th century music for 40 years. I attended many of his concerts and they were always remarkable and often brilliant.
Reinbert holds an unchallenged position as an interpreter of Satie His performance is outclassing From A corner of Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun🇯🇵
this is just about the (perfect) right tempo at which Gnossiene 1 is to be played. The best from among my search on TH-cam. Almost everybody plays it faster, which totally ruins its meditative quality. The same applies to the other Gnossienes - de Leeuw plays them beautifully.
iTunes told me I've listened to Gnossiennes more than 1500 times... and de Leeuw is my prince charming sweeping me off my exhaustion and depression. Wonderfully performed.
Satie achieves one of the ultimate challenges in composition: conveying immense beauty through the channel of desperate sadness, loneliness, despair. He delves into his deepest soul and seeks answers to the mystery of tears of joy, relief, emergence mingling with the choking, suffocating, mind-swirling mists of deepest lows. He blacks the white notes and whites the blacks. Skips softly, effortlessly, from the one to the other. Chiaroscuro. Juxtaposed dark and bright. Robert de Leeuw captures Satie's multi-dimensional soul perfectly.
I love his pauses exactly as I love his notes. Master of time control. Longest gnossiennes ever. No rush, no hurries.... sentiment only. endlessly timeless.
All time favourite since I was 15, 16 years. Satie - Reinbert de Leeuw. 62 now. Heard and seen lots of musicians & concerts. For me this is the most pure one. After all these years

Magnificent. Just magnificent. I've never heard Satie played with such sensitivity and nuance. So sad to read that this exceptional performer is no longer with us. God rest his beautiful soul.
I always come to Satie when I’m feeling particularly alone or anxious about whatever. And listen when I’m happy . When I’m mid. When I’m bored. I just love Satie. This is how I imagine it sounding as Satie plays in a French cafe as it rains outside and the cafe is smoky from all the cigarettes … comfy, contemplative day. Alone, but a day where being alone is a choice.
Definitiv, ich stimme dir vollkommen zu! Eine Info/input wenn du die Magie der Gnossienn'es noch erweitert spürten möchtest, empfehle ich dir das PC spiel "Fausts Alptraum" anzuschauen/zu spielen (das gibt es auf steam) sonst auf You tube einen Play through angucken - es wird dir gefallen! c: Falls du das amchen solltest lass mich wissen wie dir die magische Reise gefallen hat - da die gnossienne's in dem Spiel die Umgebung, das feeling und die Atmosphäre erschaffen. Kleiner Tipp: mache es abends oder nachts ;)
Simpelweg prachtig. De controle die deze man had over een piano is buitengewoon. Voor mij de beste interpretatie van Satie die er bestaat. Rust zacht Mr. De Leeuw. Dat je voor altijd naar je eigen interpretaties mag luisteren daarboven.
@@stephenjablonsky1941 More than twice I'd say, when I was a kid I had his collections on cassettes that I would play until they burnt up. My favourite piece of his to play on piano is, 'Trois morceaux en forme de poire.'
Satie makes me feel understood when I feel alone in the deepest sense. This is my favourite rendition of Gnossiennes, my favourite of Satie's works. Thank you for your dedication to Satie's brilliance, Reinbert de Leeuw. Rest in keys.
wow.. nothing can compare the perfection of the music. Autumn, a rainy day, a brandy, a cigarette, a feeling, a room, my dog and eric satie.. this is life, sad or happy, but life, with the ambition of perfection.. some kind of taoism.
Met an artist called Hilda in Maastricht in the summer of 1987. She had a vinyl copy of an earlier recording of Gnossiennes by this great interpret. A truly life changing experience.
Since his first records on Harlekijn an absolute heroe to me... Special treat: listen to Reinbert de Leeuw playing Satie on an island (Äpplarö) in Stockholms skärgård...watching the sea and the small islands in the summer night...
Erik Satie and Reinber de Leeuw lived lives of grace and genius. As a composer and a performer, they enriched themselves and others with beauty and intellect; connecting the mind and heart, body and soul.
HE PLAYS THIS MUSIC SO VERY WELL. I AM REAL KEEN ON THE FIRST ONE AND ONE WHICH STARTS AROUND THE 10.37 MARK. I AM LEARNING THE FIRST ONE AT PRESENT, GREAT MUSIC AND THIS MAN PLAYS SATIES MUSIC BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN MY OPINION.
Every time you play his music he is still alive. I really need to translate that phrase into French properly, because I feel it fits his music perfectly.
j'ai déjà entendu une autre version du même compositeur et du même interprète sensiblement plus lente qui me ravie encore plus profondément que celle-ci , bien qu'elle soit ....parfaite !
RIP maestro De Leeuw. Hij leeft voort in z'n muziek, zowel z'n eigen als z'n uitvoeringen van andere componisten zoals deze brilliante Satie uitvoering. Een Groot Gemis voor muzikaal Nederland.
somptueuse interprétation. Habitée. Il y a quelque chose d'indéfinissable comme si l'âge de cet interprète lui conférait encore plus de grâce et d'intériorité...

Unfortunately Reinbert de Leeuw passed away today.
on the way to heaven he may listen to his own interpretation of Satie. R.I.P Reinbert de Leeuw.
Amen!❤

R.I.P. gentle, powerful and superb artist.
Amen!
@@Vsauce00 I AGREE.
He looks so chilled, I imagine he'd be great to have as a grandfather, playing piano and telling stories. So sad to hear of his death.
Ahh.. i did not even know. Wanted to see him live. I feel his interpretation of Satie is the best

he was in romantic era bruh
@@xSaintLaurenT We all know that, but it's not what Puertecitos68 is talking about.
@Puertecitos68 This music helps me to lift my frequency, but I totally get this (dis)comforting feeling; the beauty is hidden in eeriness.

de Leeuw has by far the best interpretation of Satie, I believe.

Ik vind die van Reibert ook de mooiste uitvoering. Luister alleen daar nog maar naar. Zijn aanslag en tempo zijn zo mooi.
Mee eens! Voor mij persoonlijk de mooiste interpretatie/uitvoering van Satie
Satie’s music is my luxury tranqulizer

Sublime.
De Leeuw est le meilleur et le plus grand interprète de Satie . Il y a eu tout de même un extra terrestre pour ne pas aimer ...
Je suis d'accord. Si émouvant.
Nonsense.
Était désormais :-(

Bravo mister, it felt like Satie himself played through your fingers.
YOU JUST NEVER KNOW, THIS MAN PLAYS THESE SONGS SO VERY WELL.
RIP in heaven Reinbert
THE BEST ever!
national treasure, bedankt.
大変強烈な印象を得ました!一度聴いただけで、魂をわしづかみされました!有り難うございます!徹底的に聴きますよ。
Verstilde ontroering...
Prachtig!
Heel wat opnames gemaakt van uitvoeringen met Reinbert als dirigent. Altijd fijn om naar te luisteren. Het is de stilte die mij zo aanspreekt.
Just beautiful! Saties Gnossiennes are from deep within his soul, and played beautifully here.
Amo al Satie interpretado por este señor. Gracias.
Gisteren bij DWDD, Yesterday on Dutch TV. Amazing guy, 80 years young and still going strong.. respect!

Que gran interpretación, un verdadero deleite escucharlo.
Satie was a great Alchemist of the soul
....zo mooi....... rust in vrede....
Magical out of this world magnificent piece of music
I play it over and over too
I listen to this while high to sleep, and it's absolute pleasure
In my opinion of non expert De Leeuw plays Gymnopedies and Gnossiennes the best way. He goes slow, right tempo.
In fact I thought he was going a bit FAST in the 1st one....
And entirely too fast on #5. It’s not a race...
I could listen to this man play this music all day every day. Beautiful execution and interpretation.
HE PLAYS THIS MUSIC SO VERY WELL. I AM REAL KEEN ON THE FIRST ONE AND ONE WHICH STARTS AROUND THE 10.37 MARK. I AM LEARNING THE FIRST ONE AT PRESENT, GREAT MUSIC AND THIS MAN PLAYS SATIES MUSIC BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN MY OPINION.
May your soul be a good place sir, Rip.
Part of Satie's spirit lives in his music and possesses our hearts when we play his songs.
Every time you play his music he is still alive. I really need to translate that phrase into French properly, because I feel it fits his music perfectly.
Great Performance..
