The Jacques Loussier Trio has recorded numerous albums applying European jazz sensibilities to classical material, following and refining the path laid down by Dave Brubeck in his crossover material of the '50s. Combining a feathery piano touch with a swinging rhythm section, Loussier reveals the affinity between the two worlds. Loussier reworks pieces by Scarlatti, Marcello, Albinoni, and three by Handel (including the lengthy Concerto in F Major for Organ) effectively, more concerned with subtly outlining harmonic contours than exhibiting the ornamentation usually associated with baroque music. This approach produces tasteful and elegant French jazz, ideal for the cozy pub or the luxury-liner lounge. Additionally, the trio deserves a warm round of applause for rendering Pachabel's over-worked Canon in D Major in a fresh manner. --Wally Shoup

Customer Reviews:

Crossover compromise.......2007-01-04

When I first heard individual cuts from this CD I was intriqued by the synthesis of jazz and classical styles. I was also pursuaded initially by the reviews from Loussier's fans who contextualized this album as a gem within his larger body of work. Unfortunately, upon hearing the cuts all the way through, I found it to be another classic crossover compromise. Loussier is neither a good jazz pianist nor a respectable classical pianist. Combining the genres does not make him any better.

Baroque Favourites is a fantastic CD!.......2003-07-17

Jacques Loussier has evolved only faintly in the more than 40 years he has Played Bach. This version displays a mellow style only vaguely aged. The trio's current bass player, Benoit Dunoyer De Segonzac, has a particularly tantalizing way of interpreting the Baroques. In this effort Loussier has successfully recreated the pop Pachelbel Cannon in D into another hit. I particularly like the Handel tracks at open, midway and close. (and would too purchase Loussier's Water Music & Royal Fireworks CD). And this would have to be the coolest version of Albinoni's also popular Adagio. As expected, Telarc's crew of sound engineers and hifi techno gurus have created a flawless recoding. Buy it! You won't be disappointed.

Make It 4 1/2 Stars.......2002-08-24

Wally Shoup has pretty much nailed it in his review. I just want to add that it is remarkable how consistent Loussier has remained over a span of more than four decades.

Last night I played "Baroque Favorites" back-to-back with a reissue LP of his 1959 debut. I was struck by the similarity of sound and style between the two. I don't know if it's intentional, but with the latest bass player Loussier has nearly recreated the sound of the original trio. At the same time, the playing is more refined and subtle. "Play Bach" was very much a hit in 1959, but "Baroque Favorites" shows the concept is still fresh and that it is possible to grow without abandoning old ideas.

At first, like reviewer Dan Cohen, I thought that Loussier's treatment of other composers wasn't as strong as his Bach work. I've changed my mind, however. There's a smoother integration of Jazz and Baroque here than in "The Bach Book." The music has fewer non-Baroque parts grafted onto it, and the bass and drum solos are shorter and fit better. I also like the selection of pieces and their sequence, and I agree with Shoup about the Pachelbel Canon in D Major. I had hesitated to buy "Favorites" because of the inclusion of this Top 40 chestnut, but fortunately Loussier gives it a fresh spin.

Great jazz--great music.......2002-05-28

It had been a long time since I heard Jacques Loussier. Most of it devoted to the baroque music he so beautifully paraphrases in this album. Although his Bach is great, the disscovery of his Haendel is one of the great plusses of this opus. The French baroque musicians almost forgotten today, whose work I discovered recently, sound great when played as jazz.
A trully enjoyable musical experience to anyone who likes jazz and wants to hear more baroque music.

Not his best - but worthwhile.......2001-11-23

Loussier is at his best when he plays Bach. His rendition of Vivaldi's Four seasons is also excellent, and he is quite efficient in handling his Baroque favorites on this CD, but something is missing.
Loussier made his career on Bach because (and he said so himself) Bach makes the most Jazz-effective classical compositions. Perhaps these baroque compositions didn't go through Loussier's jazz-converter as well or as brilliantly as those others. Perhaps Loussier just coughed this CD without too much effort.
In any case - I bought it, and I am quite pleased I did (and this is the best bottom line possible...)

Classic Elegance.......2006-11-03

The listener cannot go wrong with this disc. The Canon in D, in particular, is the best arrangement yet.

Extremely Short But Good Sound Quality!.......2006-05-26

Although the arrangements are very different from the way these great compositions were originally written, this is still a very enjoyable listen and is a great sampler of the Baroque genre of Classical music for those new to the field. The movie "Ordinary People" introduced the masses to Leppard's version of "Canon" which has since become the most familiar and favorite one.

What's good about this collection is also that you get along with the usual pieces that you'd expect to find on any best of Baroque compilation such as Bach's "Air" and Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" gems such as my favourite piece here, Vivaldi's "Largo" the melody of which is brilliantly played on classical guitar and is probably one of the most emotionally beautiful pieces of classical music you'll ever hear.

Overall, the sound quality is very good too for an undigitally remastered cd and the reason is explained on the back of the cover which says the recordings have been digitally transferred from "newly remixed original session tapes" and seeing as how the oldest material here was recorded in 1975 by which time they had quite decent sound recording technology translates into great sound quality overall.

The problem with most "good" classical music by the giants such as Bernstein and Von Karajan is that they were recorded decades ago and many times before the 50s on terrible equipment and sometimes worse, in mono! and so you'll have to imagine how good they must have sounded live in the concert hall because they sound horrible on disc.

Final verdict: recommended for the surprisingly good sound quality for a classical disc and as a Baroque sampler (albeit quite short playing time) for those curious and new to the idiom.

Sweet music.......2005-07-29

In listening to many arrangements of Baroque music available in the market today, I have found none better than Great Performances: Baroque Favorites. I first purchased the cassette version almost twenty years ago, and I have worn out the poor thing. I purchased other arrangements of Pachebel's Cannon, and was not satisfied. I am pleased that the CD version of this performance is available and meets high quality audio standards.

A Great Album... despite being Leppard-ized.......2005-06-07

This CD album consists of... literally... Baroque favorites... including Pachelbel's timeless Canon, Albinoni's Adagio, and J. S. Bach's Air. Beginner or collector of Classical Music, it's worth part of one's personal music library. Since I'm so accustomed of listening to Baroque music on modern instead of period instruments, this is a perfect CD for me to own.

Although some of the pieces, especially Pachelbel's Canon, were arranged, they are nice arrangements. The more tedious version on the Canonwe're likely to listen has been fancified as if in a modern-day Re-mix. I love the arrangement; kinda gives me another perspective for the piece. The remaining unarranged pieces are performed very well with the orchestra.

Tough luck finding another album with more authentic versions if you're not fond of arranged versions.

Wonderful.......2004-05-11

I grew up not really appreciating classical music...and now in my early twenties I figured "hell, I should try out a new road". I found this cd...because I used to have a midi track of canon that came with my old computer and I remember listening to it in the 7th grade. I found the version on here to be more moving then any of the other adaptations on any other disc. I find this record to be like a neil young record. Very bare. I know some might say that these peices in their raw form were much more bare...considering they were written with less or any strings. Or some would think that it's crazy talk to compare neil young with anything "classical"...but I don't think so.

Buy this strictly for canon...the other peices are strong as well...but I think there's probably other composers that do the bach and vivaldi better. The handel is also most enjoyable.

Customer Reviews:

Embarrassingly Poor!.......2006-06-03

It is one thing to play 'timeless classics' it is another thing to play 'timeless classics' badly. I could not stand to listen to more than thirty seconds of each track. The playing though accurate (after how many takes?) has no life what so ever. Has Kathy heard about phrasing? Each note is played separately with no phrasing so every note is stabbed into the ear! Bah bah bah bah bah bah ect. Wow... what a waste of money to produce such a poor recording. It is clear that this is an adult student or teacher that has lots of money, and little to no musical ear. "Kathy, this week, use your metronome, practice your scales and Hannon, and we'll work more on this next week."

A travesty.......2005-03-12

I have nothing against midi or computer piano music, but this is very bad, indeed!

A Very Rare Jewel: Kathy Keane's "A Classical Touch".......2003-12-16

The only regret I have about Kathy Keane's "A Classical Touch" is that I didn't discover it years ago.
It doesn't mean Keane's freshness has faded. The reason this CD merits five stars is because every track, from Clair de Lune to The Harmonious Blacksmith, from the Waltz in A-flat major to Fur Elise, is presented with a sense of wonder, a feeling that Keane herself can scarcely believe how beautiful the music is.
Yes, her playing is elegant and her love for music is palpable. But it is her own astonishment at the beauty of the music that makes this CD a must-buy for both devotees of the classics as well as newcomers.
Share her wonder!

Thinking the 100 tracks this four volume set has to offer would be a relaxing in the car, or underscored during work time, I found the compilation of various composers to be rather jarring. Each CD contains 25 tracks of different movements from 6 to 8 artists, which don't follow any pleasing through line. If you are interested in learning just who composed which famous piece, or if you need to have on hand the top 100 classical pieces (according to whom? I don't know), then this may be right for you. If you are looking for leisure then I suggest you find something that actually completes a symphony.
