Reinbert de Leeuw - Erik Satie/ Gnossiennes 1-6 (live @TivoliVredenburg Utrecht)

Dirigent, componist en pianist Reinbert de Leeuw is op 14 februari 2020 op 81-jarige leeftijd overleden.
In de jaren zestig brak pianist en componist Reinbert de Leeuw een lans voor de destijds nagenoeg vergeten Franse componist Erik Satie. Een man die rond de vorige eeuwwisseling volledig tegen de tijdgeest in componeerde. Satie schreef korte, uitgeklede muziek. In de handen van Reinbert de Leeuw werd iedere tempowisseling en wending in het werk van Satie ongekend expressief. De Leeuw verkocht er talloze platen mee.

Reinbert de Leeuw has a fascination for the French excentric composer Erik Satie. In the '60s and 70's Reinbert de Leeuw's recordings of Satie's music were immensely popular. Thirty years later Reinbert de Leeuw is still fascinated by Satie's music and performs all six Gnossiennes with new tempi.

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

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.

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

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.

[@herrpixel5805]

Ahh.. i did not even know. Wanted to see him live. I feel his interpretation of Satie is the best

[@PlanoFSXer]

My goodness, the man has the patience to push the piece to its limits of perfection!

I couldn't listen to a different performance of Satie now that I've heard this one. Just perfect.

[@waterspoutman]

daarom man

[@Lexvander]

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.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

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🇯🇵

[@puertecitos6888]

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.

[@xSaintLaurenT]

he was in romantic era bruh

[@purrroudbeauty]

@@xSaintLaurenT We all know that, but it's not what Puertecitos68 is talking about.

[@purrroudbeauty]

@Puertecitos68 This music helps me to lift my frequency, but I totally get this (dis)comforting feeling; the beauty is hidden in eeriness.

[@SapeTuna8]

[@poppy5515]

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.

[@pimeijgenstein8169]

Wonderful work by both Satie and Reinbert ! Thank you very much Pim Eijgenstein , june 2021

[@cliveskinner7036]

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.

[@mortezamorteza77]

روح نواز، لطیف، زیبا، عمیق، مرهم دردها...سپاس! ❤

[@perlefisker]

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

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Satie’s music is my luxury tranqulizer

[@ThizzoDoesJitsu]

Dankzij Reinbert kan ik niet meer naar andere interpretaties luisteren, zo mooi. Bedankt voor je werk :)

[@louannbartels9781]

Ik vind die van Reibert ook de mooiste uitvoering. Luister alleen daar nog maar naar. Zijn aanslag en tempo zijn zo mooi.

[@BloedEnBodem]

Mee eens! Voor mij persoonlijk de mooiste interpretatie/uitvoering van Satie

[@thibomeurkens2296]

Ik heb eindeloos veel respect voor hem, hij herkende de pracht in muziek die anders vergeten zou zijn. Moge hij rusten in vrede.

[@andreluisman5679]

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

the only as far as I am concerned. I hate the prancy versions of these songs.

[@lucbrassier9378]

Alors Ciccolini?

[@budsurtees4224]

this is just about the (perfect) right tempo at which Gnossiene 1 is to be played. The best from among my search on KZbin. Almost everybody plays it faster, which totally ruins its meditative quality. The same applies to the other Gnossienes - de Leeuw plays them beautifully.

[@islaadele1212]

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.

[@ZAOUWV]

The man feels Satie

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Best performance I have seen online of Erik Satie his work. Phenomenal.

[@user-vr3jt3mc2z]

Perfectly executed

[@jd-bl3gf]

Well said

[@NickolaiPetrovitch]

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.

[@saosinon3931]

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 ;)

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.
