The Italian Pianist is Aldo Ciccolini, the record is Piano Music of Erik
Satie, Vol. 1 Angel S-36482. There's also 2 more volumes, Volume II (S36459)
and Volume III S36485.
V1 has
Trois Gymnopedies
Heures seculaires et instantanees
Trois Valses distinguees du precieux degoute
Trois Avant-dernieres pensees
Trois Gnossiennes
Trois Morceaux en form depoire
Croquis et agaceries d'un gros bonhomme en bois
Trois Nocturnes.
If you know french these titles make Aphex Twin titles look normal,
"Sketches and Exasperations of a Big Boob Made of Wood" indeed.
I don't know if this record is still in print, but chances are good
that you'll find it if you look; it is a famous recording. It is worth
the search. My first exploration of a DJ mixer was playing Trois Gymnopedies
and Blue Calx together ...
And as far as I know, Josh Wink has NEVER remixed Satie.
