Satie / Hannigan,Barbara / de Leeuw,Reinbert - Socrate - Music & Performance - CD

Coming off the immense success of the Billboard-charting Let me tell you - which received rave reviews from the New York Times, NPR, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Wall St. Journal, and many more - Barbara Hannigan turns her attention to the work of Erik Satie as the musical world celebrates his 150th birthday. The disc focuses on one of the minimalist composer's few elaborate masterpieces: the almost-forgotten vocal piece "Socrate," on three Plato dialogues in French translation.
