BACH & JAZZ LOVERS,
By MOVIE MAVEN (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jacques Loussier Plays Bach (Audio CD)
Being a huge fan of Bach's (I could honestly listen to his piano and vocal music all day long!) this album was a natural for me. After reading the other reviews online and hearing two friends rave about it, I decided to buy this CD and am awfully glad I did. What wonderful arrangements! This is definitely an album for both Bach lovers and jazz lovers. The source music is, of course, powerful and innovative; Loussier takes Bach and doesn't so much "transform" him as he does take the music to another level...keeping all the beauty. My personal favorite would be the very familiar "Air On A G String." Not better, mind you. Simply wonderful!

Das Fusion,
By Michael Bowen "cobb_at_mdcbowen_dot_org" (Redondo Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Jacques Loussier Plays Bach (Audio CD)
What Loussier has done here is so elegant and finessed, you almost forget how difficult it is to accomplish. Take music you already love, whose every rhythmic nuance is drilled into your head, and rearrange the rhythm section into jazz phrasings, improvise on the melody, and keep the best passages in the original form.This is definitely not corny Mannheim Steamroller stuff. This is marvelous straight-ahead jazz on old European Standards. It seems so undoable as to be unthinkable, yet Loussier pulls it off as if it were obvious, and in a sense it is. But not since Walter/Wendy Carlos has anyone done it with such flair and respect. I'm going to wear a hole in this CD. And I'm off to get the others.

Treat yourself nice with Loussier's music...,
By Gertrude Vong (Taipei Taiwan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jacques Loussier Plays Bach (Audio CD)
My best friend introduced this CD to me, the very first time for me to explore how fantastic someone can make for classic music! I am a lover for both classic and jazz music. Loussier is the master for this beautiful combination! Treat yourself nice every now and then, and enjoy this CD with friends or along with a good bottle of wine! I can't help it but fall in love with his music, eventually become a collector of Loussier's work. And I am glad to tell you that friends around me start to appreciate classic music because of the Loussier... You will love him too!
