'Piano pieces transcribed for bassoon and piano by Emile Naoumoff, accompanied by Catherine Marchese. ‘Great hits’ like the Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes revisited in an unusual manner! As a bonus, Sports et Divertissements, with Satie’s texts read with great humour by Philippe Meyer.’ …the mixture functions marvellously and makes this disc, perhaps anecdotal, an infinitely pleasant moment.'
