Journeaux, Carpenter, Lindfeld and (?)Pebordes as sopranos	Sketchy details, but Diarmuid Pigott says, "My favourite Satie record has to be the old version of Socrate...this record is an unfailing delight, and the fact that it's barely audible over the scratches matters not one whit!!"

"The Death of Socrates", 1986 by Elsie Russell. Socrates takes the hemlock for his crimes against the state.

Critic Steve Schwartz doesn't sound like a Satie True Believer, yet Socrate made his Underrated Masterpieces list:
"To me, the greatest thing <Satie> ever did was the 'symphonic drama', Socrate, settings from several dialogues of Plato. It's an odd choice of texts, but what else would you expect? Virgil Thomson loved this work. The sardonic, flippant Satie is totally absent, his place taken by an almost unrecognizable figure of great simplicity and nobility."

Socrate is a favorite of everyone from Frank Zappa to the Editor of Opera News.

Socrate can even move ordinary people to use great adjectives:
"Might I suggest Satie's cantata 'Socrate', a setting of a French translation of Plato's 'Death of Socrates', for soprano soloists and chamber orchestra, which is austere, subtle and luminous." (From discussion group.)
