Satie: Vexations (Vinyl) – Igor Levit

This high-quality 180-gram vinyl release on No Silence Records presents a selection of 30 repetitions from Erik Satie’s legendary work ‘Vexations’, performed by Igor Levit.

‘Vexations’ ranks among the most radical and fascinating compositions in music history. The work consists of only a few measures of music, which Satie, however, accompanied with the enigmatic instruction to repeat them 840 times. The result is a musical experience of extraordinary intensity that raises fundamental questions about time, perception, concentration, and the very act of listening. Later composers such as John Cage recognized *Vexations* as a milestone of musical modernism and the avant-garde.

This vinyl album features a selection of 30 repetitions on a single LP and is presented in a high-quality gatefold sleeve.
