LTM is pleased to announce a new CD edition of the acclaimed recording of Erik Satie's symphonic drama Socrate, performed by Music Projects London and previously available on the Factory Classical label. Completed in the spring of 1918, Socrate is a typical eccentric piece from avant-garde pioneer Erik Satie. Written in three movements for voice (four sopranos) and small orchestra (or piano), the text is extracted from three Platonic dialogues and depicts the last days of the Greek philosopher Socrates, condemned to death for corrupting the young men of Athens. 21 tracks. 2006.

Finally re-released!
This is wonderful, minimalist, cool and exquisite music. And this is the only digital recording. Beautiful performance.I bought the Factory Classics original ten years ago and I am really glad Ltm has reissued it...making copies for friends who "had to have it" was getting too much.
