Satie's Parade is a ballet that means nothing. It's exactly what the title implies--an procession of nonsensical images--and its orchestration includes such novelties as a typewriter, roulette wheel, pistol shots, and just about anything else you can imagine. This disc includes all of Satie's original orchestral music, and some pieces that were orchestrated by others. As a composer, Satie was as important for the influence he had on future composers as for his own music, which is certainly charming enough. Maurice Abravanel was in Paris when all of this music was new and exciting, and he knows better than just about anyone how it should sound. A classic recording. --David Hurwitz
