There is audible distortion on some of the higher notes, predominantly on the RHC. Was this ripped from vinyl as it sounds like stylus transient tracking distortion.
You mean tangential tracking error distortion.
FYI, this is not Frank Glazer playing, but Pascal Rogé (same for Gnossienne No.1).
This rendition can be found on the album “Satie: 3 Gymnopédies & Other Piano Works” (1984). I know this because:
I have that album, and the track on it sounds identical to the one played here on RP. Well, not entirely identical, because…
I submitted improved rips from this album to RP, back in the day when the file in the RP library had audible glitches. Unfortunately the album has low-frequency noise in the recording (even the version currently in iTunes still has this), but I filtered this out before submitting the files to RP.

A stray cat followed me home one evening.
I took her in, she was afraid and rather ill. I put Erik Satie Gymnopedie No. 1 on.
Gradually she mellowed out and began to purr.
She was my best friend for nearly 20 years.
Whenever I hear this, I can't help but think of her and always get tears in my eyes.
I called her Rozsa.

"Dick Halligan received a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Performance for "Variations on a Theme By Erik Satie" from the album Blood, Sweat & Tears. Halligan earned a master's degree in music theory and composition from the Manhattan School of Music. He also conducted his original works in Carnegie Hall."
This song was used in the documentary "Man On Wire". Highly recommend it.
Thank You for the info.

Cats have excellent taste in music

I can't believe someone gave this a thumbs down.

Wonderful. Rozsa is Hungarian for rose 🌹
Very late '60s. It appeared on BS&T's second LP, where David Clayton Thomas had taken over for Al Kooper (and ruined the band).
How does a better singer ruin a band? BTW, I love me some Al Kooper
and saw him with the Rekooperators many years ago when he was on the faculty at Berklee.
Agreed, except for most 80's pop.
That's what hairspray sounds like ;)
I don't necessarily agree but that IS a funny line!
Simply beautiful. A guy I knew loved this piece of music and as he requested, it was played at his funeral. Not a dry eye was left in the house.
Sorry about your loss but what a wonderful parting gift to share with family and friends.
PS- will always remind me of "My Dinner With Andre" which is also transcendent.
Music is what feelings sound like...
Agreed, except for most 80's pop.

Music for elevators that makes me wanna leave the particular place asap.
See ya!
How often do you hear beautiful pieces of classical music on RP? Sit down and shut up.
Actually, love, quite often. However, I applaud your sentiment.
Released: 1889? Must have been on vinyl.
Great music BTW.
I Agree!! Great music!! ...Shellac cylinder record! Ha Ha Ha!
Is that a bad thing? Go to sleep!
Why?
Because it's beautiful

As Basil Fawlty would likely say: "Cloth-eared bint!". I choose nitwit, but other opinions may vary. Own it.

Hinterland’s Who’s Who
Canuck eh!
He does an exceptional rendition of this piece. Captures the listlessness perfectly...
Trin - Gymnopedie No. 1
Also... I'm seeing posts from 17 years ago!?
How has RP been around this long and I haven't known of it?
Don't ever stop.

I agree - this music is another world away from the sewer that is contemporary America.
Tired of winning yet?
Is there a bottom to America's humiliation?
Thus Satie invented ambient music. As quoted above (merci philipr!), Satie said what was needed was a kind of "music as furniture -- music that would be part of the ambient sounds." And he was humble about its purpose: to "soften the sounds of the knives and forks , without calling too much attention to itself." His music is sublime - the more so for its humility of purpose.
Interesting comments. Analytical philosophers name "furniture of the world" some of the most important entities that surrounding us (nature, the human body, sounds, music). I'd like to think of "furniture" as essential or foundational of to experience the world in the way we do.
The year Keith Richards was born!
I really like the version from Blüchel & Von Deylen

Just kidding.
Maybe it's inevitable that more "artists" (musicians, painters, writers, etc.) don't realize that. Theoretically that could make it more difficult to distinguish the "true" artists from the mere technicians.

Oddly enough, I finally found this clip, four tracks later, while RP served up Sennen, by the band Ride.
Not sacrilege at all (from this classical music fan) - simply a reinterpretation that fitted the scene at the time, while yet retaining the core of the original.
Didn't know that BS&T track - thank you for the intro

Sweet and nostalgic story. Thank you for sharing Rozsa! You're special.
Great comment, God I love RP and the listeners it attracts :)
And by God I mean we
I remember Woolite commercials from back then having more up-tempo music. There was even a snappy jingle: "You'll look better in a sweater washed in Woolite..." It does seem like there was some TV ad that used this music - or a facsimile of it - during the '70s though. Maybe a perfume ad?
I'm stickin' with my Woolite theory, dammit! ; )

Foo Fighters "My Hero" ---> this.
Grinding guitars, ear-pounding drums, scorched lungs and then...silence dotted with echoes.
Woody Allen's "Another Woman" 1988 Gena Rowlands and Mia Farrow. Great film, great soundtrack.
Paul Simon aught to be paying a whole lot of people royalties, as this hilarious parody points out:

Same song, with variations arranged by Dick Halligan.

One of my favorite pieces of music....
