Jacques Loussier: Concerto for Violin & Percussion

Filmed at the Munich Klaviersommer in 1993, this concert presents Jacques Loussier’s Concerto for Violin and Percussion, a work that plays to his distinctive meeting point between jazz and classical traditions. With Jean-Pierre Wallez on violin and André Arpino on drums, the piece sets up a lively exchange between soloists, where rhythmic drive and improvisatory inflection sit alongside more structured writing. Loussier directs the Münchner Symphoniker in music that moves with ease between groove and orchestral colour, carried by a sense of freedom that remains central to his style.
