Final Verdict
- Private Trackers (RED, OPS): Search for "Erik Satie Complete Piano Works (10CD) FLAC 24bit/96kHz."
- Qobuz / Presto Music: They sell the Ciccolini box in FLAC, but often as 5 albums, not one 10-CD magnet.
- Archive.org: Public domain recordings exist, but beware of needle-drops (vinyl rips). Look for "CD FLAC EAC" logs (Exact Audio Copy) to ensure a perfect rip.
- Missing the 840 repetitions: The full Vexations (which takes ~24 hours) is not here – only a 20‑minute excerpt. Understandable, but worth noting.
- No alternative takes: Some Satie enthusiasts prefer the drier, more ironic interpretations (e.g., Reinbert de Leeuw’s complete cycle). This set picks a middle path.
