Steve Hackett ‎- Sketches Of Satie (2005) HU 1st Pressing - LP/FLAC In 24bit/96kHz

As you can see the musical legacy of impressionists musicians, profoundly influenced contemporary music today.
Yesterday Claude Debussy and today Erik Satie. On this occasion played on flute and classical guitar, by brothers John and Steve Hackett.

A parenthesis, since I have knowledge of Steve Hackett, is that in many passages of his extensive discography has made nods to the music of Satie. For example, I am reminded of "Kim", appeared in "Please don't touch". Very much in the style of the famous movement "Gymnopédie No. 1" … so what about the many musicians who have cited the piece of music.
Hackett if not take it anymore (I guess) and made this album, basically he gave an taste.

For my part, at my early age, I was fascinated by the combination of classical guitar and flute.
I recommend in a 100% this album.

Another excellent offering, this time from the Hackett brothers. Their interpretations of classical composer Erik Satie are subtle, atmospheric and interesting. Twenty tracks here, but none are very long, and I won't go into individual pieces, as they all blend and meld together exquisitely to make one satisfying whole. It is John who takes the lead on most of the pieces, his flute work delicate and considered. Steve backs him wonderfully, remaining in the background for the most part, his guitar providing the soundscapes and counterpoints to the flighty, almost fairy-like flute parts. This record is just another example of Steve's and John's diversity and wonderful ability to make superb music, whether it be original compositions or distinctive interpretations of some of their major influences. A must have for fans of both Hacketts. This album is especially effective when listened to in the dark, or semi-dark on winter nights. Beautiful. Four stars, even though the music isn't mainstream.
