Bogey and I pound the table, Conor!

No, no Bill!  Pound the table, not the PC!

And smashed the monitor ...

I'm not sure this is the proper thread for this, but does anyone have any recommendations for Satie's solo piano music? Thanks in advance.

Most of my Satie solo piano is performed by Aldo Ciccolini.  I have an album:

and a magnificent box set which repays regular listening

I also have this one - came in a box set.  Good reviews on Amazon but it's in my 'to listen' pile

I've seen that one. It got mixed reviews on Amazon. I know this pianist, but I don't think I've heard him actually play before.

Yes, I tend to favor recordings that aren't praised to the hills. I don't do this on purpose of course, but it seems that I usually like a recording that 30 (just to throw a number out there) other people can't stand. But I'm at peace with that. We all can't enjoy the same things. Anyway, I see that I've got something pondering on this matter to do.

Listening to Symphony No. 9 "From the New World". Classic performance.

But to be statistically significant in a review, you want a sample size that is at least 30.

Yes, the more reviewers, the better chance one has of figuring out whether they want the recording(s) or not.
