Loussier double tracked some of the piano parts on organ and later recorded some concerti with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This modern approach to the genre was not something that stood in opposition to traditional classical classical technique. The critics may well howl at the sacrilege of rewriting Bach, but Loussier is sceptical of the generic labelling of music. I did not reject classical music and decided to create my own records and my own view of the pieces I was going to play. Also the fact that most of the time he uses a walking bass line.
Some pieces really look like jazz.
The trio began to dissolve around 1978 and in1980, Loussier retired from touring to concentrate on his studio at Miraval. It was nice to stop for a bit and relax to think of other interesting projects. I have written a violin concerto, a trumpet concerto, some pieces for strings and a mass. In addition to further Bach arrangements, Loussier also recorded a disc of Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' and fulfilled his love for French classical music with works by Ravel and Satie . Just weeks ago he put the finishing touches to a Debussy album which will be released this autumn.
