Jacques Loussier - solo piano
In his career-long quest to reinterpret classical music by filtering it through his unique jazz sensibility, pianist Jacques Loussier - who celebrates his 70th birthday this year - takes on the work of Frederic Chopin in Impressions of Chopin's Nocturnes, his new release on Telarc.
Taking a cue from Chopin himself, who maintained a passionate commitment to the piano as the primary - and often the only - voice in his compositions, Loussier eschewed his usual trio setting for this recording and instead opted for a solo piano format in an effort to remain as true as possible to Chopin's original vision.
"This album represents a new color in my recordings," Loussier says in his liner notes. "For the music of Chopin, which is so focused on the piano itself, I did not feel that it was appropriate to use the bass and drums. He is a composer who always wrote principally for the piano, and he was so devoted to the idea of it as a solo instrument that it did not seem suitable to change this focus, once I had decided to use his Nocturnes as the basis for my own musical explorations."
As with his previous recordings that have recast the work of classical composers (Beethoven, Bach, Debussy, Ravel and others) in a jazz setting, Loussier uses
"I don't play exactly what was written [in Chopin's original compositions], but if you know Chopin's music, you will recognize my starting point," he says. "Some of these pieces involved considerable preparation, but others were more or less spontaneous, created in situ in the studio. Consequently, what you hear on the album is more often than not a completely instantaneous reaction to Chopin's music. I spent four days recording the album, and trying various approaches to the different pieces, which, of course, is much easier to do as a solo improviser than when one is working with bass and drums."
Born in northwestern France in 1934, Jacques Loussier began reinterpreting classical music through the jazz idiom in the late 1950s with his world-renowned Play Bach Trio. By the mid-'70s, the trio had sold more than six million records. He disbanded the group in the late '70s and spent the following decade exploring new musical technologies and putting them to work in the composing process. He reassembled a new trio in the mid-'80s and maintained an ambitious schedule of composing, recording and touring. He joined the Telarc roster in 1996 with the release of Jacques Loussier Plays Bach. |
