I think it was your recommendation some time ago that got me to purchase this CD and it is very nice music.

Two of these have been released on very well recorded MCH SACD. These are the only two I own.

Yes you're right, this one is my favorite

I'm a dedicated fan of Loussier's work with the trios he has formed. There's a DVD worth getting, excellent sound and fun to watch the dedication of the musicians as they work the pieces.

I'd also like to recommend the live concert in Paris. Very good recording for its time, some of the early Decca vinyl has noticeable surface noise, test play to find a quiet one. I'm a collector of live recordings and this one ranks high.



The Satie Gnossienne nr. 5 is excellent to evaluate how good your system is at resolving the sound of the large drum, btw. I've used that as reference when evaluating whether drums are congested or real in playback. The drumwork of Christian Garros is sublime, but so is that of André Arpino who picked up the sticks when Loussier reformed his trio.

Loussier is renowned for his musicality and acute pitch, and has contributed significantly to many famous bands and artists, who would travel to his recording studio to lay down tracks.

Thanks, just picked up a copy. Always on the lookout for good MCH stuff (I presume it is MCH), either with our without video.

As a pro cd only user i would recommend this one as the best sounding Telarc album of Jacques Loussier Trio.

I agree, they have many fine recordings.

5.1 DD and DTS tracks - enjoy! Arpino has the softest of soft touches on the cymbals, and uses them continuously - both here and in other work he has done with Loussier, an homage to how Garros decided that drums could do Bach and other classical composers. Both are able to make the drums sing - it's quite astonishing, and comes through very well on the DVD.

Call me a heretic, but while the difference between video and BR is night and day, a can easily live with a well recorded "legacy" DTS track. Dolby True HD or DTS-HD is just icing on the cake.

What is a "pro cd user?"

 

[MrAcoustat]

What is a "pro cd user?"

I have been using cd,s only since 1983, just could not listend to surface noise on vinyl, some can i can't.

So if anyone only listens to CDs as their source material, that qualifies them to be a "pro CD user?"

I tought that everyone in audio new the terms pro vinyl & pro cd, it is a well known term nothing special it only means that you are more for vinyl or more for cd,s.

-- Pro CD user too here, since 1986. :b

* I got 3-5 titles from your list Andre (CDs). I'm a huge Bach music 'luver', and Jacques Loussier is a great pianist.

If one wants the Loussier Trio with an additional two pianos ... here's your chance!
