Written in three movements for voice (four sopranos) and small orchestra (or piano), the text was extracted from three Platonic dialogues and depicts the last days of the Greek philosopher Socrates, condemned to death for corrupting the young men of Athens. The subtitle 'symphonic drama' belies the understatement and economy of \u003ci\u003eSocrate\u003c\/i\u003e, which Satie aimed to make \u003ci\u003e\"white and pure like antiquity.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSocrate\u003c\/i\u003e is augmented here by five short song cycles written by Satie between 1886 and 1923: \u003ci\u003eTrois Melodies\u003c\/i\u003e (1886), \u003ci\u003eTrois Autres Melodies\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTrois Melodies\u003c\/i\u003e (1916) and \u003ci\u003eQuatres Petite Melodies\u003c\/i\u003e (1920), together with the absurdist piece \u003ci\u003eLudions\u003c\/i\u003e ('bottle imps') from 1923, with lyrics by poet Léon-Paul Fargue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 61 minute recording was made at All Saints Church, Petersham.
