Acclaimed British conductor Sir Simon Rattle and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra guide viewers through a century of orchestral music in this entertaining and educational release. With the help of photographs and archive film footage, the third volume of this fine series focuses on the way that music helped shape the movement toward abstraction in visual art. In the late 19th century, when painters were experimenting with patterns and color, musicians and composers followed suit--shifting their focus away from a coherent and linear melodic line and experimenting with the
timbre
and color of tonal shifts. Musical works by composers like Messiaen, Ravel, and Debussy are performed and explored.

Known for his masterful interpretations of Bach`s music, Jacques Loussier and his Trio once again turn their hands to the composer`s works with this captivating performance. What Loussier does to distinguish himself from the pack is to take Bach`s work as an inspiration, then build his own set of improvisations around them. Many critics have noted that this seems more in keeping with Bach`s original intentions, and is why Loussier is such an in-demand performer. Accompanying him here are Andri Arpino on drums and Bennoit Dunoyer de Segonzac on bass.
