A couple of years ago Jürg Schopper received from a close friend from Serbia Branka Parlic's recording of Eric Satie on an Ex-Jugoslavian label. Jürg Schopper where was deeply touched by the performance, but not by the sound quality. So Jürg got in contact with Branka and invited her to come to Winterthur to do another recording of the same program.

Silver Medal Winner at the Global Music Awards

The original recording was a single album. During their time in the Studio Triston Masters decided to record more Erik Satie pieces. Triston Masters also kept the original master tape recordings beside noise such as using the pedal of the piano, breathing, etc. to keep the atmosphere of the recording studio.

"This Satie's discs are marvellous, indeed... musicianship is of the highest level, BUT sound wise these discs are of stellar, seldom appreciated quality: the piano left-hand notes aren't commonly heard in commercial, multi-miked productions..."

You’ll enjoy this AAA analogue tape recording for years to come!
