Satie-Day Morning
Bienvenue à Satie-Day! Tom Service marks the centenary of Erik Satie's death with a special show with guests Alistair McGowan, Heloise Werner, Xuefei Yang & Bertrand Chamayou.
Bienvenue à Satie-Day! Tom Service marks the centenary of composer Erik Satie's death with a special show including exclusive performances from Alistair McGowan, pianist Bertrand Chamayou, singer Héloïse Werner & guitarist Xuefei Yang.
Satie will forever be associated with the city of Paris, the cafes he performed in and the streets he walked. So Tom heads to the city to discover the heart of Satie's music with pianist Bertrand Chamayou.
Soprano Héloïse Werner and guitarist Xuefei Yang join us live to bring a little of the Parisian cafe culture to the Saturday Morning studio - they'll be performing some Satie songs transcribed for guitar and voice and talking about their new album 'Chapeau Satie' which celebrates the composer's unique soundworld.
And we'll also spend the morning in the company of Satie mega-fan and expert, the actor and comic Alistair McGowan. Alistair and Tom will be delving into the composer's flamboyant, surreal and sometimes just plain odd writing and music to give a sense of a brilliantly unique musician.
Plus the continuation of ѿý Radio 3’s 25 for 25: Sounds of the Century. This week, Thea Musgrave pays tribute to and celebrates the life of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
To listen on most smart speakers just say "Ask ѿý Sounds to play Saturday Morning”.
