Bach: The Brandenburgs

A definitive assembly of artless yet joyful tunes blended with heavyhearted songs, makes up the latest album from the Jacques Loussier Trio, "Bach: The Brandenburgs." This album has what can only be explained as flawless piano play on each track. Each song either conveys ebullience or regret, but no matter what the sentiment the instrument work portrays, it does it with excellence. The first track is a heartwarming tune that will make any listener smile. The second track is slower with the sound of cymbals faintly throughout. The third track has expeditious piano work and light drumming, but that doesn't dissuade from the accuracy of each note played. The fourth track could be one played during the holidays to vitalize the spirits. The fifth track has a listlessness to it and could be in a movie where the main character is strolling down a mist laden street searching for answers. The Jacques Loussier Trio's "Bach: The Brandenburgs" is a faultless collection of instrumental tracks that you can listen to no matter what your disposition.
