You can tell the masters; there is that fine judgement on the knife edge of restraint, slicing off excess. Too beautiful.

The guitar adds a different tone to the whole piece. It doesn't have that haunting presence that the piano leaves you with. Not that that's a bad thing, just different. I like it.
@nostalgiacreep9 років тому
sounds a little quirkier and more romantic on the guitar
@itspietime4u9 років тому
nostalgiacreep it did always sound a little more, evil to be diction'ly boring, on piano
@jukvox6 років тому
Psychospic true that, it doesn't have the haunting feel that the piano gives. I'm guessing it's because of the lack of sustained dissonant notes, that is impossible to achieve, to certain degree, on the guitar.
@sunaJH6 років тому
I feel the strings lend a fluidity and intimacy lacking in the piano, with electric acoustic the shades are endless, this artist does an incredible job of tone with just the guitar
@the0point5 років тому
agreed, on piano it is haunting. sounds more like zorba on guitar.

It is not just the song that is a masterpiece... It's mostly the playing perfection.
@margaretlavender96472 роки тому
It’s NOT a ‘song’. It has No words! It never has had words. It is ‘a piece’ of classical music.

For my ears, this beautifull piece is played to near perfection: sensitively and delicately played, very nice.

I'm a guitarist and i loved this piece since I first heard it. Played on piano of course. The nonsensical thing is, i have NO idea where i first heard it, but it has haunted me for ages and i had nowhere to start in searching for its name. Lately it has popped up in UKposts shorts as background music a couple of times, driving me crazy all over again. And over the last few months ive asked in the comments several times for a name of either the piece, the composer or a movie i might have heard it in. ANY clue as to where i picked up this damn earworm! Last night I finally got the name Erik Satie! This is my next project to learn on guitar. Such a deeply haunting piece of music to me. But I'm over the moon to have my answer, and many thanks to that guy who actually bothered to put me out of my misery!

Please if you have not already give a gift to the future of this world and make a recording of as much Satie as you can. Your gift is precious rare and glorious. Thank you for this video 🙏🏼

@edwardmorton66914 роки тому
The first time I heard this played on piano it stuck in my head for weeks. I'd never heard anything quite like it before and those dissonances were a bit like a pain in the tooth that you can't keep your tongue from retuning to poke it just so you can feel the hurt it brings. Your guitar version is remarkably good in the sense that it captures that melancholic pain extremely well. There's great beauty in your interpretation of this piece and I thank you wholeheartedly for posting it. I will probably learn it one day for there's nothing like it as far as I know in the guitar repertoire .. well done sir.

@thomasmaze91565 днів тому
C'est la 2e version à la guitare que j'écoute, elle est très différente de celle-ci : ukposts.info/have/v-deo/bYmck5CFn2l3zIU.html Je la préfère à cause de la qualité du son, et aussi parce que la version d'Otto Tolonen me paraît trop lente, sans relief et lointaine. Et aussi, arriver sur scène sans avoir accordé sa guitare au préalable, je trouve que c'est un manque de respect au public.
@amarietarbes4 дні тому
Merci pour ce partage, c'est une belle interprétation, très délicate mais qui reste classique. Je préfère la version d'Otto qui est pour moi plus sensible, intérieure et profonde...ce n'est que mon ressenti et bien sûr pas un jugement de valeur sur ces deux magnifiques artistes.

@johnhaller70176 років тому
A very spatial composition and interpreted beautifully by Otto Tolonen. I have a recording of this on Piano and the guitar is just that little bit more expressive. The Gnossiennes are like abstract paintings comparing with the whimsical gymnopedies which have a more conventional feel to them. These pieces make me think of the long walks that Satie took around Paris and it's suburbs. I am sure that many of his compositions arose during these walks. The rhythm of walking and the mind under it's influence would have brought forth just such musical mysteries.
