Long-time listener, first-time commenter. This track makes me think that RP classical and jazz mixes would be very good things indeed. Just sayin’.

You mean tangential tracking error distortion.

FYI, this is not Frank Glazer playing, but Pascal Rogé (same for Gnossienne No.1).
This rendition can be found on the album “Satie: 3 Gymnopédies & Other Piano Works” (1984). I know this because:
I have that album, and the track on it sounds identical to the one played here on RP. Well, not entirely identical, because…
I submitted improved rips from this album to RP, back in the day when the file in the RP library had audible glitches. Unfortunately the album has low-frequency noise in the recording (even the version currently in iTunes still has this), but I filtered this out before submitting the files to RP.

The n°3 is really good too
I had no idea this composition was this old.

A stray cat followed me home one evening.
I took her in, she was afraid and rather ill. I put Erik Satie Gymnopedie No. 1 on.
Gradually she mellowed out and began to purr.
She was my best friend for nearly 20 years.
Whenever I hear this, I can't help but think of her and always get tears in my eyes.

Really good music is like a wine - getting better with the time ... 
Wikipedia on the Blood, Sweat and Tears version:
"Dick Halligan received a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Performance for "Variations on a Theme By Erik Satie" from the album Blood, Sweat & Tears. Halligan earned a master's degree in music theory and composition from the Manhattan School of Music. He also conducted his original works in Carnegie Hall."
People looked at him funny when he said "I'm inventing Chill, yo".

I first heard this on KMPX from San Francisco. Of all places. Rebel Rock had its classical side.
Wonderful

I know nothing but the music... but did this come to Satie in a dream?

First heard this on the brilliant French movie Diva. So beautiful. Listen to those dissonant notes. I have a feeling Satie knew what he was doing.
I heard this originally in a French movie (Malle?) - several times since and I cannot remember a commercial use...but it would make a good one

I guess because of the name of the piece, but I've always had a mental image of gymnasts performing in slow motion to this music. For a time I thought that might be the translation of the title. I'm probably the only person that's ever conjured up this image. But then, maybe not...
Thanks for the intro to Satie.
Also... I'm seeing posts from 17 years ago!?
How has RP been around this long and I haven't known of it?

Put this on and if anyone suddenly starts talking about beavers or the call of the loon, you've outed a Canadian.
I learned to play this when I was about 5 much to my piano teacher's surprise. Tempo is the most difficult part. Deceptively difficult, still challenging.
Thank you, Radio Paradise, for introducing me to this. It’s because of you that I recognized this song in The Queen’s Gambit. The composer’s name, “Erik Satie”, came to me.

Thus Satie invented ambient music. As quoted above (merci philipr!), Satie said what was needed was a kind of "music as furniture -- music that would be part of the ambient sounds." And he was humble about its purpose: to "soften the sounds of the knives and forks , without calling too much attention to itself." His music is sublime - the more so for its humility of purpose.
Interesting comments. Analytical philosophers name "furniture of the world" some of the most important entities that surrounding us (nature, the human body, sounds, music). I'd like to think of "furniture" as essential or foundational of to experience the world in the way we do.

From the lovely and inspiring movie The Black Stallion. Music by Carmine Coppola, the father of movie director Francis, who formerly played with Toscani. Can't help but notice the similarity.

Oddly enough, I finally found this clip, four tracks later, while RP served up Sennen, by the band Ride.

Listening to this, figured it was another mood number from the Roma soundtrack. Whoa, 1889!
I thought this was that insipid ditty that Ryan Gosling keeps playing in La La Land.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever, but I'm pretty sure it was used in a Woolite TV ad in the early 70s.

From those of us who have listened to classical - modern formal music, Satie's Gymnopedies are a bit too overplayed.

Wow. You've reminded me of our beloved Sheba, who we had to put down a few years ago, age 23. And now with Erik Satie playing I'm starting to get a little choked up myself. I took her in, she was afraid and rather ill. I put Erik Satie Gymnopedie No. 1 on.

I want to learn this when I'm about 50. That's like now. I recently bought a digital piano. I thought I always was more of a guitar guy, but it turns out piano suits me better. The keys are so nicely ordered, scales and chords and music theory make so much more sense to me. Sometimes it takes a little longer to find out what really suits you. That's ok. All in due time.
