This album, released in 1985 by Japanese pianist Ikuyo Kamiiya, is known for her performances of Beethoven and is highly regarded for her wide-ranging repertoire from classical to contemporary music. The album features the piano works of the French composer Erik Satie, a singular figure from the late 19th to early 20th century. It focuses on historical masterpieces from the early 20th century, such as "3 Gymnopédies" and "3 Gnossiennes," and also includes "Prélude de la porte héroïque du ciel," composed in 1894. The album exudes an ambient chamber music atmosphere that serves as a model for performing Satie's works, embodying interior music.
