My admiration of Jacques goes back a long way, to the 1960s when I first heard and saw his original trio on IMT.
Through his early recordings, I first became interested - via the 'back door' - in the wondrous music of the incomparable J.S. Bach, which led to a broader love of the classical genres generally. Quite possibly there are others who are in my position. (I still cherish a vinyl copy of his recording of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5 BWV 1050.) Merci Jacques!
Schumann furthermore, is another composer whose work I adore. I'll certainly be purchasing this album.
