About "Satie: La diva de l'Empire" by Aldo Ciccolini
Satie's 'La diva de l'Empire' is a music-hall parody, Ciccolini's piano strutting with ironic swagger. The tune sparkles like cheap champagne, yet beneath the cabaret glitter lies a wistful emptiness. It's a star's smile frozen under stage lights, charming and a little tragic.
