"You simply mustn't do such a thing". This recording is 24 years better. Without leaving the true sentiment of Bach, Jacques Loussier brings out the jazz feeling that has always been present in Bach's music and makes it obvious. It's not very complicated but very true. His companions on bass and drums support the music as Bach would have done had he known about jazz. Listen to it! I simply love it!
