Our Take
Ah, Jacques Loussier, the man who made classical music cool again with his jazz-infused interpretations of Bach. "The Very Best of Play Bach" is a delightful compilation of Loussier's most iconic tunes, showcasing his masterful piano skills and unique take on the classics. From the moment the smooth jazz vibes of "Prelude No. 1" kick in, you know you're in for a treat. Loussier effortlessly navigates through Bach's intricate compositions, adding his own flair and style to each piece. Tracks like "Invention No. 1" and "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" are reimagined in a way that only Loussier could pull off – it's like Bach meets Miles Davis, and the result is pure magic. But it's not all smooth sailing on this musical voyage. Some tracks like "Air on a G String" feel a bit too tame and safe, lacking the adventurous spirit that defines Loussier's best work. And while his piano skills are undeniable, at times it feels like he's playing it a bit too safe, sticking too closely to the original compositions instead of really pushing the boundaries. Overall, "The Very Best of Play Bach" is a must-listen for fans of classical music looking for something a bit different. Loussier's innovative take on Bach is a refreshing twist on these timeless compositions, and while not every track hits the mark, when he does nail it, it's truly something special. Bach would be proud.
