Jacques rocks St.Georges
Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Last year I had a fantastic opportunity to attend a concert by the Jacques Loussier Trio in St George’s, Bristol. Although the concert had completely sold out, I was lucky enough to buy a cancellation ticket on the day and for the first half of the concert watched the maestro at work from the gallery.  The seat had a poor view and I could only see part of the piano. After the break I talked to one of the ushers and asked if I could stand with them at the back so that I could see all three of them performing.  They said I could, providing I behaved myself. It was an unforgettable concert. I am sure JS himself would have appreciated their blistering interpretation of the presto from his Concerto in D Major for Harpiscord.
