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.
